Tap for context

Some woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man

    Not at all. You said being alone in a forest with a man is more dangerous than a bear, and I said that’s statistically nonsense.

    Just because I wrote more than 2 sentences, doesn’t make that a gish gallop.

    There are 2 premises:

    1. Bears are dangerous (I agree)
    2. A random man in a forest is more dangerous to a woman than that bear (I strongly disagree)

    I showed my numbers for that 1 argument and that’s it. I’m happy to be proven wrong, if you have anything more than “it just is”.

    I’m not defensive I find this comparison to be simply ridiculous.

      Now, how many men does the average women come in contact to daily and how many of them turn violent? I’m pretty sure the numbers are much, much lower than that for a bear encounter.

      My Wife walked passed approximately 1’000 just today.

        I still don’t see what you’re getting at, neither do I see any gish gallops here.

        1 is the claim, the other an example on the same subject.
