You're not "responsible" for your fear, fear is a normal, primal emotion that is absolutely necessary for survival. And you're right to be wary of men because men are dangerous.

I have been followed by men of different ages several times. It was very scary.

Yeah, I guess I've had push back from people when I explain why i get on edge and they tell me I shouldn't feel that way or I'm even being sexist against men.

Have you read The Gift of Fear? It's a good thing to have your guard up. Don't let people guilt you.
