I dunno, don't women find it offensive if people negatively generalize their gender? And for a good reason imo, even if they're not the women being talked about.

Sure, but I'm not gonna claim it's equivalent until I start getting harassed regularly about my body

Like, until men have to deal with this shit, I'm happy to listen when women complain about men. Like one guy said, it's not all men, but it's too damn many

It's similar sort of thing but not similar in severity or prevalence. But I think the point is that such generalizations are bad in general and should be avoided.

Your comments have a lot of All Lives Matter energy. The post isn’t a random generalization about men. It’s one that reflects society’s systemic sexism and violence toward women. There’s a power imbalance in the situation.

A lot of negative generalizations have some truth to them. But the act of negatively generalizing a group is something imo that should be avoided.

I don't care what "energy" being against such things gives out tbh.
