That's a great point I never thought of.
I'd rather be alone in the woods with a bear than a random man. But I'd rather be alone in the woods with a man ranger, or a fisherman, or a man ecologist, or an Aboriginal man engaging in traditional practices, or a man mycologist, or a man botanist, than a bear. Those men all have good reasons to be in the woods, so I bet they'll leave Me alone. Plus, I live in Australia, so a bear in the woods is pretty strange.
