i'm a dude and i'd still pick the bear

a bear is going to leave you alone unless you spook it. when hiking in bear country or camping or just being there, the one thing you're supposed to do is make noise. they even make noise making accessories specifically so you just make constant noise which lets any bears in the area know you are there.

this doesn't attract them, it's not food, but it lets them know where you are, and gives them warning if they're sleeping or hanging out so you don't spook them.

bears tend to stay away from people, food being the exception, but they don't want to see you just as much as you wouldn't want to actually see a bear.

meanwhile, it is a known quantity that people will act different if they think there is no one else around that could see anything.

men, women, others, all should choose the bear over a man.
