<p>I think we miss the point of the thought experiment when we try to enforce the logic of comparing dangers. The facts wouldn't corroborate that position either. Statistically, men are a more persistent and potent threat to men and women than bears.</p><p>Thought experiments are meant to shake us out of usual thinking. The question might signal the kind of demise those women find more acceptable. The clear attacks of nature versus the types of betrayal and psychological terrors men might wreak.</p>

There's a need to not get bugged down by generalisations. This is a simple tool of language. For the women (and men) that advocate for a chance or danger with the bear, this is a choice for a kind of death or danger that potentially keeps one's humanity in tact. It could be a tsunami, plague or any other force of nature; one argument for this is, men have proven so dangerous and dehumanising in their methods, that I would take my chances with the beast that clearly bares its teeth
