That’s how generalizations and language work. It’s ALWAYS implied that it’s not ALL of a group. Unless someone says “literally all men”, and then whatever that person is saying is wrong because there’s no way it’s literally all.

So good news, is you’re not like that, it’s not about you.

That’s your interpretation, and my point is that the way language works, you’re interpreting wrong.

Awesome. So when other racists like yourself talk about “Blacks” or “Mexicans,” that’s fine because we can just assume you don’t mean “ALL Mexicans are rapists,” right?

I don’t follow. How does being bigoted about a group based on race get better when you target less than 100%?

Why excuse the same being done for men? I would have said “a group based on sex”, but the people doing this definitely understand the issue when it’s women.
