Why have I been conditioned to believe all men are wired the same?

It's understandable to feel cautious around people that are not familiar to you, especially when it comes to intimate relationships. However, it is important to remember that not all men are perverts or want to take advantage of women. In fact, most men are kind, respectful and care deeply about the welfare of others. It is important to remember that not all boys are bad and that it is unfair to make generalizations about any group of people.

The best way to mitigate your feelings of distrust is to have open conversations with the boys that you come into contact with. You can talk to them about your values, expectations, and boundaries and learn more about theirs. This will give you a better understanding of the individual and form a safe and trusting relationship.
