Ok, in your post you had said you were mistreated by men in particular. I can understand how you might be triggered by both males and females, especially because of the unfortunate way PTSD can make someone a lot more sensitive.

That being said, from what I am seeing in our society in general there has been such a surge in women needing to claim their rights that a lot of men can even be more lost depending on how old they are. This is because there STILL has been this theme of "men are not allowed to have feelings". Men are in a world now where they are often competing with women and yet at the same time they have to control their emotions and even at times be submissive. Some women can be very demanding and entitled all the way around and that can be a challenge all in itself if you happen to be one who is sensitive. And some men are just simply frustrated because god forbid they don't respond the way they are somehow supposed to just know how to respond.

It's a challenge taking place period, but can be more difficult if one is struggling with the sensitivity that comes with PTSD.
