Individual behaviour is not an excuse to generalise.

It seems like a lot of people gave the same idea: "this thing happened to me a few times so I guess everyone in this category is like this!". If you're one of these people, honestly, grow up. Just because something happened to you it doesn't mean the rest of the world cares or will even follow suit. You're not special enough for that, you're simply a snowflake in a storm. No-one cares about the snowflake, they just revel in the storm. And the storm doesn't care about what you experience on your journey to the ground.

The most obvious example of this is "some guys/girls did this to me so they must all be like this! Let me tell them they need to stop this or else they won't get far." A lot of your experiences with other people are simply a matter of individual behaviour. You're really not good enough for a collective group to give you special treatment. I know you want to believe it, but it's simply the truth. Maybe your local populous can be the exception, but the larger collective couldn't give a fuck who you are.

I guarantee you, anything you feel only happens to you has also been experienced by the group you are describing as the collective perpetrators. If you wonder why guys act a certain way, some will definitely wonder why girls act that way too. The difference is that some people actually realise that it's individuals. If you want to change your experience, change your environment. And that doesn't necessarily mean where you live or work but simply who you talk to and hang out with.

People really need to stop trying to hold others accountable for an individual's actions and rather take it upon themselves to minimise it happening again. If one person keeps bugging you in a certain way, tell the fucker to stop. If you don't, it's on you. If a small group of people act a certain way towards you, tell each of the pricks to stop. If you don't, it's on you. In most of these cases, they don't, they just want to act like the world revolves around them.

The funny thing is that people like to collectively generalise a group yet I guarantee they've encountered people of that group who haven't acted that way and it's been a vast majority of the group. All they want to do, like a lot of ignorant people, is ignore the facts that prove them wrong and highlight the anomalies that make them feel right.

It happens a lot, especially on GaG, and it's quite frankly the most annoying and pathetic thing you can do. If you're one to think a group of people acts a certain way simply because of a small group or a few experiences, you're a mindless moron who thinks too highly of themselves.

Unless you've spoken to every single member of whichever community you're targeting, shut the actual fuck up, you attention-seeking parasite. And yes, I acknowledge, people can generalise while venting but you also have to realise that if you're going to do that then you just look like a whining little bitch.
