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 think the argument is interesting.
