Yeah but that's a different scenario all togther. Not all men are dangerous rapists, obviously. But enough are prone to assault and SA that it's statistically safer to have some random bear (possibly grizzly or teddy) than some random man. If you don't feel like the random guy walking down the street is dangerous, that's probably because random men on the street don't regularly harass you, which is unfortunately still a very common occurance to most women.

While I understand and respect your viewpoint, I'm not quite sure you understand what I'm saying here... The question is designed to be a no win scenario, it's phrased in such a vague way that no matter how you answer someone else can chime in and say oh no, your not imagining the terrible scenario I'm imagining. There's literally no way of answering it in a way that someone is going to chime in and tell your wrong.

It's literally designed to be a test designed to gauge your reaction more than it is to be answered seriously.

Without more info one can't possibly respond in a legitimate manner. And any responses without additional information is more of a mirror to your own personal disposition and fears than it is a legitimate response to the question.
