      That’s because it’s not an unpopular opinion. It’s you completely missing the point of the whole bear in the woods thing.

        I think the argument is interesting.

        Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead “If you’re alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person”. However, since right now it’s socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

        You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.

        I mean, it’s literally word for word an adaptation of a common racist question with one word dropped. “Would you rather run into a bear(or wolf, or whatever dangerous animal) or a black man” has been around with the racists for a long time.

      Women choosing to pick one thing over another is not sexist. Saying that it is because they choose not to pick men, is sexist. You are trying to tell women what to choose and that is just wrong and actually sexist. Go take your view to the incels, I’m sure your popular there.

          No, your opinion is sexist. I’m sure if you took your opinion to the one of the abrahamic churches or incels you would be very very popular. Your opinion should be unpopular but when we have large institutions that are very sexist pushing this lame, lazy kind of thinking… it’s hard to make progress towards true equality.

              I’m sure you could take your dumbass over to community where sexist thoughts are more welcome. Obviously we’re on Lemmy what kind of statement is that. I said you can take your view to a church, where it will be popular.

                  You view is unpopular with critical thinking and logic. I never had issues with it being unpopular. You are being sexist and fail to actually argue your point. Probably because you lack the logic and critical thinking. I still find it funny that you gloat about your unpopular opinion being banned for being unpopular. Like what do you expect from sexist opinions.

                    That’s the whole point I brought up though. I don’t feel like rehashing the debate about the man vs bear right now, I’m just saying it’s pretty silly that I was banned from the “unpopular opinions” community for having an unpopular opinion. I expect a community named “unpopular opinions” to not ban someone for having an unpopular opinion.
