You're Why We Choose The Bear

a poem/song about the meme about whether a woman would rather encounter a random man or a bear in the woods

By CT IdlehousePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Grizzly bears don't wait outside bars...

They don't follow women to their cars.

They don't put drugs in your cup...

They don't call you a "fucking cunt."

/

The worst they can do is maul you...

Or leave you on the ground to bleed.

At least if a bear attacked me...

People would actually believe me.

/

Men like you

Are why we choose the bear...

Men like you

Are why we avoid darkness...

Men like you

Are why we choose the bear...

You're the reason...

You're the reason...

We choose the bear.

/

Bears don't wear shirts saying "your body, my choice"

Bears don't teach their daughters that "boys will just be boys."

Bears don't vote for fascists who put women in caskets...

Bears don't gang rape women and blame it on their outfits...

/

The worst they can do is kill you...

Or leave us on the ground to bleed.

At least if a bear attacks me...

Then people won't blame me.

/

Men like you

Are why we choose the bear...

Men like you

Are why we avoid darkness...

Men like you

Are why we choose the bear...

You're the reason...

You're the reason...

We choose the bear.
