Probably garners a different set of answers.

I don't think so. By probability there's only one correct answer if one's intent is to avoid the most damage physically or emotionally. The answers are just coming from people who are not 'actually' in that scenario so they have the luxury to give a hyperbolic answer to be provocative to prove a point that has nothing to do with the level of danger presented by bears in the wild.
That said woman face unacceptable risks from men in ways that most 'good' men cannot perceive or imagine because they simply walk through life rarely encountering it and because they don't encounter it themselves, they have a tendency to dismiss women who talk about it. Likely because the people they know that act creepy towards women only do it covertly.
