  I mean, it's literally word for word an adaptation of a common racist question with one word dropped. "Would you rather run into a bear(or wolf, or whatever dangerous animal) or a black man" has been around with the racists for a long time.

  I think the argument is interesting.

  Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead "If you're alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person". However, since right now it's socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

  You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.
