    Not all men are dangerous just like not all snakes are venomous. Knowing that some are dangerous means that I will be cautious around all of them until I’ve determined if they are the safe kind or not. The price for being wrong and trusting the wrong guy is too high.

      Every individual is different and it has nothing to do with gender. My ex-wife was a toxic, manipulative, awful person who left me with decades-long psychological trauma, but I can appreciate that comparing all women with snakes is misogynistic.
