No, he is not. He is a normal guy. He is an actor.Perhaps. Or perhaps Brad Pitt is a sexual predator. Or can't control his temper. I don't know. Just being an attractive person doesn't make you a good person.

That just ignores everything what I said. In America a bear encountered in the wild most likely won't be an issue and will leave you alone as long as you leave them alone. They tend to be more curious than anything and don't want the trouble. Food, a mate or especially cubs can be bad news for everything thats not the bear, but other than that it's not likely to attack.
A strange man, however, you may not be able to communicate or reason with him either.
You certainly won't be able to reason with a strange bear.
It's stupid to fear men simply because of the remote
possibility that the one you meet might have ill intent.
Bears kill people out of hunger, being startled, & getting
near food or cubs.
Would you argue that black men should be feared?
So are you saying that if I meet Leonardo Di Caprio, alone in the woods, there is a chance he will rape me?
There's also a chance that Barack Obama would rape you.
...and if they are highly territorial and you invade their territory.

The entire debate I see it like people who warn about how dangerous dogs are but never consider we humans are vastly more dangerous towards each other than any dog.
I'll go you a step further, I'd rather encounter a rattlesnake in the wild than a human. At least the snake warns and my hearing is good enough to hear, and I know to stay calm and slowly back away, and wearing baggy pants as I do also helps.
The human? Is it a hippy wanting to share a joint or the next Zodiac Killer? Probably somewhere between those two.

You told me that abortions have nothing to do with rape.
How do you know this? Have you met the guy? Subjected him to a psychiatric evaluation? Maybe he's a serial killer.
Okay...let's change the question.You told me that abortions have nothing to do with rape.
How do you know this? Have you met the guy? Subjected him to a psychiatric evaluation? Maybe he's a serial killer.
Would you rather be alone in the woods with Leonardo Di Caprio or with Kate Winslet?
I mean a very, very isolated forest with miles and miles of nobody.
Prejudice against dogs doesn't pose
the severe problem caused by prejudice
based on sex or race.
That fails if you unknowingly
get too close to one.
Women who fear all men, & would
rather encounter a dangerous animal
in the woods need counseling to get
over this debilitating phobia.

I prefer Leo too. Had a crush on him since I was 12.I prefer Leo, honestly.
No offense for the former president.
It's not a phobia.
As the author says in her article, it's cultural programming. Or in other words, a trend created artificially.
Even if a woman is straight, she has to says that men are scary a priori. To be socially accepted.
The choice speaks for itself.
If they're only saying it for the purpose
of painting all men as dangerous, then
it is indeed something other than a phobia.
It would be hystrionics.
The most disturbing und unsettling murder I can think of is the Scazzi case.
A 15 year old girl named Sarah went to visit her cousin .
Her cousin Sabrina strangled her to death in an act of rage due to jealousy.
So...all this trend that random men in the wood (who couldn't care less about you) are dangerous...well...
it's a trend.

It's not a phobia. It is a fact humans, particularly men, are the top danger and threat to humans. Other animals even tend to try to avoid humans.
Or, people have given me a lot of problems. Even been attacked before. A wild animal, however, I've never had any problems with.
I wouldn't want to meet her in the woods.
However, I wouldn't make her deeds writ
large, applying them to all women.
Especially, black men, according to statistics.
Should women therefore fear black men more?
Or could there be some bigotry at work with
women who seek to demonize all men?

And are random men in the woods really
the big danger?
