      I’m glad you can rationalize your prejudice, but nobody should have assumptions made about them for aspects of themselves they cannot control. It isn’t what it is, it’s never too late to change into a good person.

          It’s not so much that I make assumptions about individual men

          I’m sorry, are you backtracking? I thought you said

          I do tend to assume that men I don’t know are malicious as a baseline

          Being vigilant isn’t prejudice, being vigilant because of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc, is.

          Misogynistic ideas like women are better shaved don’t always come from men, but it’s usually coming from men. And that’s just my personal experience.

          Okay, so what? Personal experiences aren’t an excuse for prejudice.
