I'm fine saying "many people prey on other people's insecurities." I am not "making this about gender." I was mirroring the genders I was replying to.
But you mirrored both the genders and the way responsibility flows.
Some men and women are assholes who prey on the inexperienced, some men and women are naturally more confident than most, and give others a false impression, mostly or entirely unintentionally.
You don't seem to accept that some people can accidentally lead people on without actually trying to do that, that one person's obvious flirting can be another person's just trying to be friendly, that one person can never explicitly say that 'this is a committed, serious relationship', and another person can hear that anyway.
If you think I'm mirroring everything the other person said, why are you criticizing my words instead of theirs?
