I think it's called toxic femininity; I shudder at how naive and trusting I was as an 18-year-old at college. I would basically trust anyone with a PhD, or anyone with authority. Thankfully, I didn't have a track coach stealing nudes from my phone though...not that I would've had any on there in the first place, there were no smartphones back then!
It's maybe more socially acceptable for men to be cynical? at that age, at least.
