Dare I ask what the man vs bear meme is all about and why it seems to be upsetting men so much? [CW: sexism]

I don't go on social media so I don't really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a "heh, serves her right" kind of way.
So weird that dudes complain that they can't get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled. 
EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I'm disappointed, that's something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren't. Do fucking better.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm a guy and I'd prefer the bear, and think everyone should choose the bear.
I've seen several bears back when I lived in China, they're docile as fuck. I don't think they'd ever attack a person since, y'know, they're herbivores. They just sit around eating bamboo all day. It'd be like asking "Oh would you rather encounter a man in the forest or a wombat?"
I think my list of least dangerous to most dangerous is Blackbear, fellow hiker man, Grizzly Bear, man in woods not hiking, and man who owns property next to said hiking trail.
I think you're joking here, but pandas are absolutely not safe animals to be around. They can get very territorial and WILL fuck you up. Beautiful, yes. Safe? Absolutely not.
Source? Growing up in China we were taught they were afraid of humans and flee if they catch our scent, which is why footage of wild pandas was near impossible to get. Males get aggressive around a short breeding season but even then they have never killed a human in recorded history.
Where are you seeing wild bears in China?
Pandas probably since he mentioned them eating bamboo
Yeah where can I see wild Pandas?
I dunno, I'd say go wander around where they live but you probably shouldn't go bushwhacking through a panda preserve
Aren't pandas like super-aggressive if you're even so much as in their territory, never mind being perceived as a threat to the cubs? Or am I confusing my ursine subspecies again
Males in breeding season, yes, but in general giant pandas are solitary and peaceful animals, which will usually avoid confrontation
Normally wild pandas will flee if they catch your scent, most attacks on humans by pandas have been those in captivity. Ones raised as cubs by humans are actually difficult to release back into the wild because they no longer fear humans.
Pandas have a 0% fatality rate when it comes to humans. If they were super aggressive and territorial, the peasants expanding into the lowlands of Sichuan would have surely had at least 1 person mauled to death.
TIL; thanks for the clarification!
Yes, they are.
In the woods.
Wild? I saw the dumb fucks at a zoo/breeding preserve. They were falling all over the place. Extremely clumsy animals.
Pandas are deeply unserious animals
