I'm ok with women expressing this sort of sentiment, so long as they're also ok with guys making generalisations about women in the same vein -- ie "There are enough of 'this type' of character out there, that you gotta be defensive and assume any could be". Saying all men are dangerous is fair, it's also fair to say all women exploit men for financial gain. I don't know many men who've dated for a while, who haven't come across women clearly just seeking free meals, gifts etc; ones who'll judge you based solely on income. That said, it's prejudice in either case to assume that an individual of either gender is either of those things just because you've acknowledged the risk is there. Like if your store is constantly robbed by one specific ethnic demographic, it's human nature to be suspicious of any member of that demographic when they come in -- but you'd cross into racism if you explicitly treated them like thieves prior to them being shown as a thief at an individual level.
