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.

That’s the answer to the question of are men or bears more dangerous to women.

Thats not the question being asked. You need to have a metric for incidents per encounter. So in the US there are probably 2 billion encounters between men and women a day. That is probably an underestimate of how many people come across each other each day.. So you have 600 rapes / 2 billion encounters vs 40 or so bear attacks in Canada per year / x encounters.

I fully acknowledge that I have the privilege to look at it statistically and that the statistical look is not the point.

You could also look at it as incidents per population of human or bear and then humans murder at a rate of 1/20000 or so compared to bears and like 2/1000000. In that case bears are less dangerous for both men and women
