That's not how statistics work. You'd need to compare the rate of encounters between women and bears vs women and men.
That's a fun central underpinning of the "man vs bear" thing: a lot of people are really really stupid. If 3 women a year encounter bears, and one of them gets mauled, and 3 million women a year encounter men, and two of them get raped, some idiots will claim that men are more dangerous than bears.
Well, see if you can find the bear mauling rate. The rape rate in the US was 40 per 100k. Or to line up with your number, 1,200 per 3 million.
Or, even better, you could comprehend that that's not the point at all.
The fact is that it’s hard to get the actual statistic. To truly make the comparison 1-to-1, we need to count how often they are alone in the woods with a bear and how often they are alone with a man. My two cents: if you have been comping enough in bear country then you know that bears are kinda always around and they just don’t bother anyone.
Let's be real though. If 3 million women a year encountered men and only 2 got raped, we'd never have come up with the man-vs.-bear scenario in the first place.
Depends on how much fearmongering the media does. Satanic Panic was a thing, remember.
Most of the "fearmongering" is actually women talking about their experiences.
When media fearmongers Rape, it's mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.
Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man's protection, it wouldn't be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a ~~woman~~ walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).
Most of the "fearmongering" isn't happening because we were talking about a hypothetical situation where only two women were raped. Fuck you for implying that I don't think rape is a real thing that happens.
