Oh, absolutely! I've known men and women do this, and I've experienced it myself from both, even including abusive family members and bosses.

I agree it's key to look inward, and see if we're also guilty of these behaviours, or if there are certain things about us that attract shitty people! Lacking boundaries are always a huge "hi, I can be exploited" sign, for example. Most of us need therapy, I think! Shame it's so expensive and unavailable for many of the population who need it.

I'm glad it's made you think about things :) I hope it helps people identify stuff that's happened in their lives, whether they were the perpetrator or not. I'm also a huge fan of the openness around mental health these days, and I'm happy to talk about my experiences. They've gotta benefit someone other than my therapists! :')
