Depends on the bear and the woman. If I’m choosing between a gorged, sleepy, elderly bear and my bloodlusted ex with a gun, then definitely the bear. If it’s a random 20 year old woman vs. a starving, pissed-off grizzly, gimme the coed.
I don’t remember who it was, but some historian once said you could estimate how good and fair a time period is by imagining that you are going to be born at random into it. You don’t get to choose your parents, and statistics are the factor - this isn’t a monkey’s paw wish, it’s a random number generator.
In this case, if you pick “bear,” you’re going to get a random bear from all the bears in the world. If you’re a man, you get a random one of the 4 billion(ish) adult women on the planet. Of you’re a woman, you get a random man.
It could be a Giant Panda; it could be a Polar Bear. Statistically, probably some sort of black bear; but it’s random.
Odds are you’re going to get an Asian person: Indian, Chinese, whatever. But you could also get some big, aggressive person magically yanked out of solitary: random.
Would you be more afraid to meet a bear in the forest late at night, or a woman?

NGL, it took me a moment to realize you were saying you would rather come across the bear in this situation, not that you would be more afraid of the bear.

You get no more context. Black ops dudes have snatched you and are going to drop you into a situation; you get only the choice: bear, or woman.
Do we get the context of ursine or big hairy gay guy or are we going in blind with that too?
Blind. It’s always blind.
