Reason I ask that is because sometimes I hear people say “oh all men are the same” and Vice versa. I mean no offense when I say I’m just using it as an example “why all women are emotional” these are examples of my question.
So why do we do that. When it comes to generalizing men it feels like it’s putting us in a box and categorizing men. You might as well just say “A man” and Vice versa “a woman”
It’s all part of the female supremacy empowerment play.
Let me tell you a quick story so that this makes sense, I was falsely accused in college and the woman served me an ex parte PPO giving herself the power to have me thrown in jail whenever she wanted. Why do women deserve to have political privileges like that? Is it because the few bad men out there have tainted everything for us good men and now all men are demonized for the wrongdoings of the few. And you know that the best part is? All women, especially the bad ones are empowered through things like women’s history month, Valentine’s Day, international women’s day, feminism ext and men can do nothing but love and empower women anyway? Can’t even criticize women without the entire world calling you misogynistic or an incel. We live in a shadow matriarchy whether you want to believe it or not. And it’s being built upon by the democrats and some republicans too.
Yeah and generalizing is stupid.

I think generalizing is the freakin point... and I can't recall one of these questions saying "all" in front of "men" or "women." The problem I see the most is people who don't understand general arguments or questions.
Why do we do that?, aside that I do agree saying "a man" or "a woman" would be more on point, they do it so they don't have to write a bunch of extra shit as a disclaimer that will probably be ignored by the majority of their haters anyways. It doesn't matter what you say or how you word it, the triggered will read it and still respond with "I'm not like that, so therefore, you're wrong" or "______ doesn't do that, so therefore, you're wrong."
Speaking in generalities is a skill set someone who's triggered seems to toss out the window. Those that just want to argue with someone love to do it as do those that take the question as a personal offense.
That is why it is becoming increasingly important that people stop being lazy and start phrasing things properly. Why are most women women more emotional, why are most men terrible. Why are the average men terrible. Why is the average woman "insert here" etc most of the people that use the overarching generalization blanket statements are lazy and dumb.
How do I know most of them are dumb? They get pissy when you call them out and point out that in fact not all are what they claim. That only some, an average, or most are.
If you have read many of my comments you will know that I more often than not define the possibility and the existence of those that do not fit the box I am titling. It is a small distinction to make but it is a surprisingly important one. When one labels 'all' it leaves little room for conversation. When one labels 'most' 'some' 'the average' etc it leaves room for conversation and potentially learning and growth
I see it a lot on here and hear it a lot away from here and it’s always always a prefix to a negative. Not sure which I find more annoying. May sound harsh but I automatically think less of the person for such sweeping statements , it’s completely unfair and actually a pretty stupid thing to say !!
s There is a general truth to everything. Every one is human and we do the same things all other humans do.
Like sterio types there is some truth to all of them.
yes that is generalizing. that's very obvious in the wording. what exactly is the issue with generalizing? something can be true in general but not for the individual. i think that's what many people fail to understand.
I don't like it either. Wouldn't hurt to add "some" to their questions.
When a QA says "do men" or "do women", then yes, that's generalizing, but, when it comes to when you're asking something about "trans" or something like that, then that's a different story
m yes if its being asked as 'do men/women'
