      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

          this is a trick quesion, they’re not

          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.
