And if you’re not, why do you care so much for what some women might think of you before they get to know you?

Yeah, gosh, why would anyone care so much about being assumed to be a rapist?

you prefer every woman to trust every man because you’re one of the good ones (maybe)?

Weird false dilemma you've presented, one can simply treat all strangers with a degree of caution.

The post literally says not “all men”.

Really? Because the title of the post is "All men are dangerous"

Even if the post didn't say that, that's what others in the comments are defending and/or advocating for.

Being afraid of black people because of something unrelated to their race is very different than being cautious of men for something directly related to their sex

Not really, you are assuming the behavior of someone based on their immutable characteristics, they are both prejudice.

There is no way to visually distinguish a rapist.

Except if they look like a man, right?

You would have me put myself at risk or be a complete social hermit just for the sake of “fairness.”

No, I would have you be cautious of every human because every human is a possible abuser. Your trauma is not an excuse for prejudice, neither is statistics. Judging any individual because of the group they were born as is prejudice, you are a prejudiced and intolerant person.

Caution is not the same as prejudice

If you "caution" against all men, then yes that is prejudice, just as it would be if someone was "cautious" against black people.

and that means that I’m going to have to live in such a way that I will mistrust a lot of good men

That is prejudice. Be cautious in a non-prejudiced way, nobody will care.

Judging all men based on the actions of others (pre-judging them, if you will) just because of what group they are in, is prejudiced.

Prejudice is unacceptable for any immutable characteristic, such as sex, gender, race, or sexuality.

Over half of homicides committed against women come from intimate partners and family members.

Like, even when we find men we think we trust, it’s still no better than a coin flip that one day they might violently hurt us, rape us, or kill us.

That's not how that statistic works.

It is a simple fact that the vast majority of Jewish people support the Occupation

Even if this were true, it would still be wrong to target a random Jewish person for your message about Israel. Members of a class should not be treated differently because of that class, even if the concerns of the wider class are valid. That is literally prejudice. Pre-judicial thinking, you are judging them early.
