Good grief, I saw that informal survey. I am SO weary of the war between men and women. BOTH sides have plenty of legitimate grievances...but if we want any semblance of order and family, we need one another. Not barbarians or thugs on either side...but compassion, order, love of family, a desire to care for one another. Our society is crumbling. Former feminist here, from my youth. I did plenty of STUPID things (very promiscuous in youth, lost count...) and regretted it all. That is why I "hang out" with God, as He created male and female and we are supposed to help each other, not bombard each other with hatred. All this for the young women is LEARNED behavior. Feminism can be toxic, as can MGTOW movement and "Incels" hating women. Stop, each of us, listen, examine our own hearts, see the neutral center where we can just help one another. Men, women, flawed beings that need each other. Where does this end???

I asked my wife the question, and she said bear. I don't know what that says about me.

I asked my 14-year-old daughter, and she said man. In my stupid little head, I'm thinking it's cos of me, and she thinks men are great and they buy them stuff (are there any shops in those woods?).

If we asked men if they'd rather share a dark forest with a woman or a bear, 100% of men would take their chances with the woman, even though in truth, they'd be much safer with the bear.

Weed for writing; what works for me.

A good sativa, low dosage for initial work, plotting etc.

All the rest sober (except coffee).

"And I’m like, well, what about the fuckin bear? Is it a black one or, a brown one, or one of those white bastards? And what was the bear’s upbringing, for God’s sake? Like, did it have alcoholic parents, that kind of crap?"

This article was a whole lot of rambling just to say: "I take things too literally and miss the point."
