I would agree with you except for the fact that it's not a gendered issue. There are just as many male manipulators manipulating women. Currently, I'd say there are more because of PUA culture.

We all have to protect ourselves from manipulators. Its not something that ONLY women do to victimize men. That's bullshit. It's everwhere and could come from anyone, even institutions.

Go ahead, call it out when you see it. But be honest about it when you do. And open your eyes. The only reason you don't see male manipulation is because you don't date men. Believe me, it's there. It's there in spades.
