Fear of males anxiety sky high

I'm so sorry that you've had such a bad experience with men. My partner was also raped as a 16yr old and throughout her life she has been assaulted, sexualised, touched, catcalled, insulted, disregarded, gaslit and invalidated by men who refuse to see what women have to go through every single day, just for being a woman.

We know it's 'not all men' but it isn't helpful when men say this. How are women supposed know 'which' men and safe and which aren't. Just saying 'it's not me' isn't enough because that's also what the dangerous ones would say. After enough incidents I can understand why some women won't ever go near another man. Statistics show that the vast majority or violent acts are by a man, whether it's a woman or a man that's been attacked, so you're perfectly within your rights to be wary and feel this way.

As men it's on us to change this narrative by our actions and our words. Being aware of our actions and how our presence might make a lone woman feel, giving space when required, treating women equally and calling out other men who behave badly and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

I really hope that your future experience with men is better than your past and any future male acquaintances are kind and understanding, and you start to feel a little safer in our company, if only to relieve the overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety. 

turns out social care needs to add it to their assessment  as it don't have it listed. Found out by the new manager today but his also going to hunt for the original assessment the company did as well. 

I hope you see some results from this. It's infuriating to not feel heard enough to be taken seriously.
