"not all men"

I know it's not all men and it's not just men and saying I hate men doesn't accomplish anything and maybe him being a man doesn't have anything to do with it but someone should not have to be that afraid to reject a man
I didn't tell anyone this cuz it just doesn't matter but a couple months ago some guy maybe Will's age and a lot bigger than me approached me at the gym and started kinda flirting like saying I was pretty and stuff and asked for my number and I just said straight up "no I'm a lesbian," not like in a rude way really but just kind of firmly and he got mad and said something really gross and luckily one of the employees heard the whole thing and kicked him out but then I didn't go for a while because of that. Not like it's the first time that sort of thing has happened, but what else am I supposed to say? Anyway eventually I decided I wasn't going to let some fragile man stop me so I started going again. Like after everything that's happened I refuse to take shit from anyone anymore. And I really don't just hate ALL men, obviously. But I do have a really hard time trusting one and that will probably always be true.
