Bear Vs Man
Posted May 1, 2024 by sicktodeath in WomensLiberation

I’m sure y’all are familiar now with the question going around about if you’d rather meet a bear or a man if you’re alone in the woods.

Women are overwhelmingly saying they’d rather take their chances with the bear.

I told my husband about this and he said “yeah I’d rather meet the bear too.”

Can we please address the fact that random men are more threatening to us than an apex predator?

Are there any interesting, well-developed female characters? I had a hard time with Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell because it had a such a boys' club atmosphere.

Talking about any characters is a bit of a spoiler so I've tagged it. So, there aren't many characters mentioned, and those are mostly male. I would say only the main, male character has any real development, but it's quite a solitary sort of book and characters are closer to plot-devices or mysteries than people (which is not to say they're wooden; they're quite lively, we just don't see them in much detail). There are probably more birds than people in the book. So in terms of representation, I would recommend it for bird-representation or statue-representation but not any variety of positive human representation.

I haven't read it but I've been wanting to for a while, I think because I saw someone recommend it on here. I have a hold on the ebook version from my local library but I have to wait 10 weeks 😩 (I've also had this hold for several weeks already...)

Thanks for this. I'm on the waitlist at the library.
