And there it is. #NotAllMen

It's so easy not to say 'Men do X' 'Women think X' 'Muslims believe Z' if you don't mean to suggest its a problem related to the group.
-
but it IS men, we're not just picking on men lol. why say "people" when it is men that do these things most of the time??? Serious question.
-
Still very easy not to say 'men' when its a tiny minority of men. I'm sure you see the problem when people say 'Muslims commit jihad.'
-
Hey, man here. It's not a small minority of men. It's an overwhelming majority. You don't need to defend us. Thanks.

Never claimed that. Misrepresented. Look at the thread.
-
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to misrepresent you. What did you mean an overwhelming majority of men do?

there is a bowl of 50 candies in front of you. 5 are poisoned, the rest are fine. not all of them are poisoned! only 5!!
-
Ah, yes, the analogy first used for Jews, then men, then Muslims. If that doesn't show you why it doesn't work, I can't help you.
-
cos Jews and Muslims are non-majority populations oppressed under white settler colonialism, and men are a majoritarian class?
-
Does that make the logic work differently? No.

Thanks Helen for standing up for decent discourse.
-
decent discourse is not deraling a whole argument just because someone didnt put "all" or "some" in front of men
-
You don't believe in 'calling out' people who make bigoted generalisations? I expect you do when its 'women' 'black ppl' 'trans ppl' etc
-
To be fair to Roses, she did say "the problem is a lot of men".

"Not all" is the dismissive bit. It's a way of making the conversation about something/someone else entirely.
-
Sometimes that's definitely true. 'All-lives-matter', weirdly, is a variation
-
Perhaps if one is offended by a statement one should wonder why they felt it was directed at them. Is the speaker including you?
-
Or did you include yourself? If so, why? Ask these questions of yourself before confronting the speaker. Look for WHERE you
-
are specifically targeted. If you aren't, then it's not your turn to speak, so sit back.
-
Unless you are speaking up for marginalized ppl whose voices are being silenced, and even then so they have opportunity to be heard.

Sorry this preceded the other response, I just had to get that out b4 I lost my train of thought on the matter. Meant to tag u out.
