I think the thing that squicks me about "all women should fear and suspect all men" is that it feeds into and supports the patriarchal/kyriarchal paradigm, in ways I haven't yet figured out how to verbalize. The only way I can start to get at it, is to say that it is different from "all people should exercise caution and judgment over where they are and who they are with" in gendered ways that I find troublesome.

(Admittedly, my perceptions are skewed out-of-norm by both my sexual orientation and by my personal history in which my perpetrators-of-violence were not particularly distinguished by their gender. My personal experience is that women are just as violent as men; they are simply socialized to enact that violence in different ways.)
