“ Sort of, but it’s kinda like disliking people because one mugged you.”
Have you ever been mugged?
As a small woman, I do think being mugged would have that exact effect.
I did receive a death threat by telephone around 1987, and since then do not answer the phone unless I know the caller. It does have an effect. One does become more suspicious.
I’m with you on that one. It reminds me of an old phrase:
A conservative that’s been arrested is called a leftist
A leftist that’s been mugged is called a conservative.
