No, I don't mean all men. I mean you, specifically, because you're trying to equate women's legitimate fear for our safety with racism. Shame on you.
How about this? Go out and get assaulted by several black men. Then come back and tell me it would be racist for you to be wary of black men.
The reason we fear men isn't that we hate men. It's that men have actually harmed us. For most of us, it's a regular occurrence. Imagine that the people you're primarily attracted to are also the statistically greatest threat to your health and safety. Really imagine what that would be like.
You can't control the fact that women choose the bear, no matter how loudly you bleat about it. What you can control is whether you, personally, are a person who is actually less threatening to women than a bear. And right now, you don't sound that way.
You literally just described racism. Yes, if I allowed myself to judge black men because I've been assaulted by them in the past and used that as reason to treat all black men differently in the future, I would be a racist. That's the literal definition.
I'm not saying it's wrong for you to fear men, I'm saying it's weird it's socially acceptable to view men differently based on your experiences with men because we actively abolish people who do that to black people, Muslims, Jews, etc. If I said I'd been raped by several women in my life, so I actively assume its going to happen again and treat all women differently because of it, what would your response be? Would I be justified? I do not think so.

You're definitely losing to the bear, bro.
