      I'm unsure why it surprises people that making negative generalisations about a group results in people pointing out the falsity of this.

      Countering negative generalisations based on immutable characteristics is central to all action to oppose prejudice & discrimination.

      because it's dismissive and doesnt actually resolve any issues. anyone with half a brain cell knows "not all men", dont be dense

      But it's dismissive of generalisations which do need to be dismissed. A lot of people simply don't know not to ascribe collective blame.

          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.'

          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?

          "Not all" is the dismissive bit. It's a way of making the conversation about something/someone else entirely.

          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

          Unless you are speaking up for marginalized ppl whose voices are being silenced, and even then so they have opportunity to be heard.
