Are all men potential abusers?

Because I'm starting to feel like they are.

I'm aware that my feelings are based purely on my own experiences and I think I actually want to be told I'm wrong.

I have reached a point where I am so fucked off with the society we live in that I feel like I want to take my children and go and live in some sort of community of women (do they even exist?)

All people are potential abusers.

But most men aren't actual abusers. Are you ok? You're mentioning your experiences, if you want to talk things through it might make you feel better.

There are communities of women out there, but there are also lots of lovely men who don't act like arses. If you've recently met a lot of arses it probably doesn't feel that way, but it's true.

As an answer to the question - I suppose all people are potential abusers. But some have more potential than others and in most the potential doesn't turn into reality.

Yes, there are communities of women you could look into joining.

All humans are potential criminals (thieves, murderers whatever) but that doesn't mean that all will be criminals, or that all men will abuse. I'm really sorry that you have encountered more than one horrible man of this nature.
