Would you rather encounter a man or a bear? Women in Singapore weigh in on the US TikTok trend

Some women flipped the problem again on itself, going beyond the black-and-white answer to the question of man versus carry. &nbsp,

Marsiat, who chose the endure, said what’s more important is to look at why people picked “bear” in the first place. &nbsp,

She said:” It should n’t be normal that so many women choose bears, a wild animal that could literally kill you. What does that reveal about gentlemen? What does that reveal about how people perceive them? And why?

Men and women should work together to ensure that everyone feels secure.

A 25-year-old scientist who wanted to be known as Ella questioned the pattern and the repercussions of people choosing the keep. &nbsp,

” Cultural media trends, particularly on short- type platforms like TikTok, tend to exaggerate complex issues to make a point,” she said. &nbsp,

Ella explained that while the trend highlights how uneasy some women feel around peculiar men, its critics, both men and women, question the validity of these women choosing the bear, Ella explained. &nbsp,

They make the argument that such women probably do n’t have firsthand experience with bears, which is where they would pick them, but Ella said that is n’t the point. &nbsp,

Many women choose the bear because they have had much negative encounters with strange men, or because they have heard about them, to choose the unknown over risking reliving the negative encounters they have had with men.

Instead of obsessing over person versus bear interminably and issue it over and over again without going anywhere, she continued,” That is the more pressing issue that people should look at, rather than rely and debate it,” she continued.
