There isn't one. When that stuff about "they chose the bear" happened, they meant it.
You have to be vetted and have an in, give their dog bacon. Volunteer.
RIP women, but tbh what did they expect when they chose the bear
I mean, they're not exactly wrong, the odds of getting raped on an evening walk are drastically higher than a bear screwing with them.
Being a guy, I think the odds are still relatively low, but also being a guy, I don't have any say in how they feel about things nor their experience to understand.
A random bear is a lot more likely to maul you to shit than a random dude is to rape you lol. It's a horrible choice but I respect it (rip)
I get the feeling you're not acquainted with wild bears.
Unless they feel threatened (especially with cubs) they generally DGAF.
Almost 1 in 2.1 Million Chances of Being Attacked by a Bear. (National Park Service)
I think it really depends on the bear. Polar or grizzly, and you're in trouble.
This is about being with a bear vs a dude though. That stat is for randomly getting attacked...
This was the sauce

be in the woods with a bear or a man
The Parks Service is reporting on bear attacks in the woods.
While true it's not man attacks in the woods, it's close enough to at least understand it.
