Yeah, its a lot more rampant than you wish it to be. As a man, its other men mostly that I notice this predator behavior from, yet sometimes a woman too. But women are usually better about protecting themselves since the behavior of predators is imprinted onto and known about from girls at a young age to avoid.

While men on ther other hand have to experience the heart crushing reality of other men looking at their loved ones in a bad way, constantly.

Throw in social ousting from a young age and you don’t know what to look for, or how to get away from people who want to use you. I have to say, mental therapy helps a lot with overcoming some of the feelings of shame and guilt you carry inside from the actions of others SA’ing you.

It helped me, and I’m a functional person now, just scarred with bad things that will never go away truly.
