Bears—which by and large, only attack people as a defense response when they feel threatened—have carried out 180 attacks against humans since 1784, according to BearVault.com. But when it comes to men attacking women, the National Crime Victimization Survey found that in 2006, 232,960 women were raped or sexually assaulted in the United States. That’s more than 600 per day.

I've come across bears in the woods while hiking, albeit not while alone, and they generally avoid us. So yeah, I'll take my chances with the bear.
