imo 60% of this discourse could be resolved if it was specified just what type of bear we're talking about.
Black bear? Panda? Sun bear? basically big herbivores who are no more threatening than a cow or a large sheep. Black bear might try some bullshit but they weigh about as much as a heavier human anyway, very unlikely to hurt you
Grizzly? Polar bear? yeah you're dead
Gay bear.
Gay bear just wants to give you a big hug
We also don't know what type of man we're talking about. Or the distance you encounter them, or whether you're lost in the woods or on a trail. There's a lot of ambiguity in the question in general.
Which is the point. Respect to the fellow autistics in this community, but the point is not whether you could fight off a bear, the point is that the motivations of men can lead to far worse than solely animal instincts
Hence why the question survived this long. The ambiguity allows a lot of different lines and prevents people from getting an answer.
