One singular bad experience makes you cautious.  Hopefully.

But then you have another, singular bad experience.  From a different man.

Then another.

Then another.

Then multiple bad experiences with one man.

Then that happens again.

The singular bad experiences add up.

The multiple bad experiences add up.

And you start noticing the patterns.

One of the ones I keep noticing – the men most likely to cause me a bad experience, either singular or multiple, are apt to speak loudest about being exceptional.  Being a Good Guy.  A Nice Guy.  A Misunderstood Nice Guy.  Not Like the Other Men I’ve Known.

And if they’re convincing, if I let them beneath my defenses, it happens again.  Maybe it takes a while longer.  Maybe I try harder.  Maybe he does.

But it happens.

And I add it to the list of experiences as to why I don’t trust men, however harmless, kind or sweet they initially appear or behave.

Almost every man I’ve known who’s said, “I would never do that!” whether that was using misogynistic slurs, yelling for no reason, or sexual assault, has ended up doing that.

So, yeah, I’m going to generalize.  When the general behavior of men alters to the good, I’ll generalize that, too.

But it hasn’t happened yet.
