    There were 3,849 women murdered in the US in 2023

    Murder isn’t the only way to be killed. Case in point, 2,958 women’s deaths are classified as “passenger vehicle accidents”, plus another 2,126 pedestrian deaths.

    By gender, the overwhelming majority of accident drivers are men (13,085 : 5,212). So if you’re worried specifically about dying and you exclude all murderers, just getting in a car makes other male drivers vastly more dangerous than bears.

      Holy shit, that’s nuts! This should be in the top comments for this silly hypothetical lol. I think you just checkmated nearly everyone trying to argue against the bear.
