I think you're missing the point entirely. The man Vs bear argument serves no purpose but to divide. And when people fight with emotion, exactly what you're doing, women lose the right to abortions, to vote. There's no logic behind these decisions, they are fueled only by the emotions of closed minded people. Adding to the fire helps nobody and in fact takes things a step backwards. Misinformation and fear mongering isn't the way to solve this issue. Alienating the 95% of decent men that want the same thing as women won't help the cause. You're blaming the wrong group of people with polar blanket statements like man Vs bear

What good does it do unless we look at the causes. All this does is divide people. Why is that the right thing to do? We should be joining together to extinguish toxic masculinity, stamp out religion and improve education. Not radicalising toxic femanisity

The part where there's 3.8 billion men on the planet, and although the stats are hard to put together, lots of contradictions, they point to less than 1% of them being incarcerated (for all crime not just crime against women) even vastly exaggerating that to 5% (to account for men not being caught etc) leaves 95% of the general male population being decent and no threat. Blaming men, when men aren't the issue is sexist. Blaming religion, poor education etc would be less sexist and aimed more towards what the actual issue is and help work towards a cure, man Vs bear does nothing but divide and spread fear. Stats show that black people perform a higher amount of crime than other races, does this mean we should be racist? Does this mean you'd pick a random bear over a random black person? I don't think it does, because it's not the colour of their skin, nor is it the apparatus between some bodies legs that defines them. Blaming the wrong thing is sexist, or racist in both these cases. I'm not saying women aren't walking around terrified, but a lot of that has to do with polar discussion that doesn't help like man Vs bear telling them they should live in fear and does nothing to help the actual problems. And if you don't believe that to be true you are part of a much bigger problem humanity is facing, misinformation and fear mongering.

Not only are they 50% of the population that's circa 3.8 billion men, the stats are hard to find accurately but less than 1% of them are incarcerated for crime (all crime not just sexual assault) even if you were to drastically enhance that to say 5% (to account for men that have never been caught etc.) that still leaves 95% decent men in the world. The men Vs bear thing is a bullshit hypothetical designed only to divide and not address the real issue women are facing, from religion (especially in politics), poor education and internet fear mongering such as the men Vs bear topic designed to make people live their lives in fear instead of correcting the issues.

I'm not trying to say women don't live in fear, just that sexism isn't the way to fight sexism. It's pretty common knowledge that black people have the highest statistics for crime in general (without going into further discussion) does this mean we should all become racist? Because I certainly don't think that's the answer, just like topics designed around sexism aren't the answer here.

It's not that it makes me uncomfortable, but more misinformation and exaggerated statements is one of the biggest threats currently facing humanity, man Vs bear does nothing but add to this.

Yes there is a problem, yes it needs addressing, discussions like this are far from helpful and only alienate half the allies.

The cure to sexism is definitely more sexism.

Same way companies know they've been hacked. I'm making the assumption you're non technical, given the question. But there are many ways such as access logs, server monitoring etc

If they lied about this and are accessing very confidential information I think my company would sue the giblets off Google.

You need to remember we are talking about Google Cloud, the enterprise services they offer and not Gmail and search engines.

Do Tesla's not have one of the highest accident rates of all self-driving vehicles?

Disclaimer I don't know if that's true, I feel like I've read it elsewhere on Lemmy, though I never verified it.

Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn't take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you're actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.

Are you sure you've not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don't fully understand?

What's the answer then to stopping drunk drivers killing people. Which happens daily. Telling them not to do it doesn't work, What's our next line of defense?
