I have heard people say “would you rather share your emotions with a woman you know or a tree in the woods”, but that doesn’t really feel like it’s an equal question in my head. I am curious if anyone has a better example of the “mens” version of that question.
There’s not, because it’s shitty and nonsensical to compare an entire gender to a dangerous animal in the first place. The bear analogy did not actually work, and no equivalent analogy for the entire female gender will work either.
Shit like this is why we will never win men over. We will always be republicans to the eyes of the left. we will always be sexiest and we will always be the problem no mater what we do. maybe we should start aborting male babies and encourage suicide when they get into high school because its better then getting a other republican in office. Better still would be trying to find a way to get men to want to vote. But that will never happen.
Would you sign power of attorney over to a hornet?

I feel like you’ve locked in too much on the gender binary here and are maybe missing the point of the “would you rather” to some extent. It isn’t really about the individual answers to the question (though in aggregate they are also telling.)
The premise revealed by the question itself is that the statistical danger of encountering a random bear in the woods is comparable to the danger of encountering a random man alone on the street. The aggregate answer just feeds into this premise: many woman would take their chances with the bear. This is a surprising outcome, and is meant to make
peoplemainly men question why they feel surprised by this result. To self-analyze and maybe improve on that is the goal.So for the “opposite scenario” you’re asking if there’s some surprising situation where an “average” man would prefer to be in than encountering a random woman. I have a strong feeling that due to the general balance of power in society, the answers to this question will tend to still be empowering of men and dismissive of women. I think the obvious joke here is something like “who’d you rather find at home after staying out too late drinking: your wife or a feral racoon?”
The sharing emotions one you use is better but still kind of in the same genre: it isn’t pointing out some truth about women, but making a different sweeping critique of men. I thought of “which would you rather: therapy or fight club” but that’s the same joke, and is still focused on critiquing men.
I’m having real trouble thinking of a broad problem with (USA specifically) women that affects men and is compatible with this joke format.
Would you rather have a conversation with a girl that blames men for all problems woman face, or with Andrew Tate.
