The reason women choose the bear is because bears only attack for a few reasons and often times want nothing to do with people, thus avoiding the confrontation entirely. You can't say the same for men, even if it is a minority of them who commit such atrocities. The online reaction of men to seeing women choose the bear also gives creedence to the idea that men often just refuse to understand why women would even think a certain way, to the point of entirely diminishing their experiences.
I know a lot of women who inherently don't trust men, and a lot who do. I myself usually don't trust men either, but I'm well aware that most of them will never harm me. The problem comes in that I'm not going to play russian roulette with a bunch of "nice guys", and my trust of you is going to have to be built on a strong history of good experiences and transparency of character.
Men inherently will do more damage to others more than women could, that's why women usually have to rely on weapons, sneak attacks, and social disruption. Men also make up the lion's share of all crime, being the victimizer is the vast majority of cases, even though men and women are victimized at about the same rates. That means that other men need to think twice about who they trust as well, but thanks to male privilege, they have a higher chance of handling themselves better in such a situation.
Men and women will usually both lose to the bear, but women by and large will lose to the man. That's why men have a shocked pikachu face when a women chooses a potential mauling vs getting violated. They don't understand that their options are "maybe lose vs maybe win", while women have to choose between "maybe get killed vs maybe get raped".
