          children already know to be better than bears, what this argument provides for them is a window into what other people assume based only on gender

              when evauluating risk you have to take into account the general population, and the general population of bears is not exactly friendly

                  I don’t think you understand bigotry the way you pretend. I remember what my dad was like before he started watching fox and the way it rotted his brain and how it turned him from a reasonable well spoken human to a republican bigot. I see that in a lot of liberal discourse, but people think they are special and will never fall for the same shit that turned the party of Lincoln to the party of trump.
