I guess it depends on how big of an area you're in. If you are in a big enough area to avoid the Grizzly or the area has enough food that the Grizzly won't bother with you, that's preferable. However, if the situation gives the Grizzly any reason to attack, it's not going to end well. Grizzly induced deaths are not especially quick either. They are known to just horribly maul people and leave them suffering or eat from the legs up.
That’s completely missing the point of this thought experiment. Fact of the matter is that many (most?) Women are answering that they’d rather be trapped in the woods with a bear because they view men as so dangerous.

The fact that women even need to think about the answer to this question tells you everything you need to know about men and the danger that they represent to women.

One clever comment from a woman I saw said “at least if I get attacked by a bear people will believe me”.

That being said I’m not saying it’s a good thought experiment. It is kind of stupid because there are way too many variables to consider to give a truthful answer. But I don’t know that this is necessarily the time to be pedantic.
