While all humans are potentially dangerous, men are undeniably dangerous. I have recognized that throughout my lifetime but as a 6'3" man it has (perhaps foolishly) had less influence on my behavior than it has had on my 5'0" wife. She quite properly, in my opinion, exercises a degree of caution around men in isolated places.

I don't think that makes her a bigot. In her barefoot childhood she was bitten by farmer's dogs. She loves dogs, but exercises caution around dogs unknown to her.

I think that the line between appropriate caution of dangerous things and bigotry is actually clear or should be.
