Whether or not I'm afraid of another person regardless of sex, gender or orientation depends on a myriad of circumstances. I think a person can be too fucking creepy, if someone makes my skin crawl I need to get the fuck away from them, I don't care who they are!
Sure as a whole the average man tends to be larger and stronger than the average woman, but women are better at that codependent shit with the psychological warfare of control and manipulation. Of course not everyone fits neatly into a box and there is a certain amount of fluidity with regard to that which is traditionally masculine or feminine. Most scary ass people tend to have a combination of traits in their asshole arsenal.
I think stereotypes exist and are as such, because that's what's commonplace, however that which is commonplace is not a hard fast rule either.
I've probably cited this in past, but I have personally known and known of two people (one male, one female) who where strong, intelligent well trained police officers, one of whom was ex military, who were both victims of domestic violence. It seems like such an unlikely thing, because police officers are trained to take down criminals who are oftentimes bigger, stronger, crazier and under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One thing I noticed in both cases was that the abuser had control over the victim's mind and emotions. Chronic abuse is about more than brute force.
Try not to let fear control you, open your mind up to logic and reason then your instincts will be sharper. Under the right circumstances your fear can guide you.
Here are two books that have greatly helped me in my life:
*The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker
*The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout
Women only: Are you afraid of men?
