You're certainly right, and I will "mute" you after posted this. I'm "allergic" to people basically negative about my gender (as most of your commenters are, BTW).

At the same time, I wanted to share this: although you seem strongly influenced by your negative experiences with men (and I'm sorry that happened), remember that personal experiences do not represent the whole of reality. Reality is always so much bigger than us.

If I had bad luck and always met bad people (or bad women), and therefore concluded that all people are bad and I need to keep everybody far away from me... I would be the one with a sad life.

Personally I think most people are good - both men and women - and I meet them every day. Not because I am especially lucky (I had my fair share of bad ones), but because I choose to not let my bad experience "poison" me.

Most people are "traumatized", one way or the other - me included. To them I say "Do not let your trauma define you".
