Thanks DownandLonely, but I'm not sure how avoiding triggering someone is possible if you have asked if there is a problem and they don't make you aware that they have been triggered. It wasn't an obviously triggering sort of discussion, more of a sensitive exploring.
And you are right that peeps can be against mods. That's why I dismissed the whole thing. I'm the sort of person who thinks that everyone has a good and bad side to them, don't hide in a cupboard and pretend otherwise.
But my question is generally - how do more experienced women deal with men who have a history which makes them reactive to women - or with women who have a history which makes them reactive to men?
