    Here’s the thing. You’re very right, it’s not deep at all. Metaphors, similies, analogies, hyperboles, implications, etc. are all very normal parts of human speech, and this meme is pretty surface level in its requirement to use these things.

    However, something has dawned on me, and I feel it necessary to ask you: are you perhaps on the spectrum? We sometimes have difficulties not taking everything literally, and this causes a communication gap. If this is the case, I will be completely and totally clear for you.

    We are not literally talking about a literal bear vs a literal man. This is in fact a real metaphor for “danger vs danger”. The literal interpretation is “men can be scary to many women”. Going further, respond to this point and don’t fixate on the hypothetical bear.

    You didn’t read his response correctly, and your response comes off as nonsense because of this. Replace black with white, and the comparison is more accurate. Understand the dynamics between oppressor and the oppressed, and the different ways similar rhetorics are used to muddy the waters to create disingenuous conversations. “It’s sexist because women are saying men are scary” is a bad take.
