Do you find that most men try to exploit/take advantage of your vulnerabilities instead of protecting you? Do you also find a lot of men are attracted/turned on when you are vulnerable/scared?

Yeah omg

Normally I don't come off that vulnerable because I grew up in NYC and developed a mean mug/cold external personality around men at a younger age.

But these sexual predator type men really are vultures. In 2020, I was really sick with covid and very physically weak. When I went to the ER, the man doing my x-ray started giving me creepy vibes and asking unrelated questions. It set off my alarm bells immediately. I gathered my energy and snapped at him, then started acting like a bitch, which made him act professional again.

I'm 100% he saw how weak and vulnerable I came off and that was enough for him to start testing my boundaries for possible sexual assault.

It really says a LOT that I was sick for a short amount of time, and immediately came across one of these predator men. The logical conclusion is that there are a lot of them out there.

None of it is any of your fault of course, but never feel bad for acting like a bitch of being cold to men. Never feel bad for requesting male doctors only. You come first, not anyone else's ego.
