      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.

      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.

      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.'

          Yes, but we moved on to negative generalisations about men. Your comment doesn't fit that. Most men don't go to the gym.

          Well, that's trivially true. The majority of men are heterosexual. I think you missed that I was objecting to negative generalisations.

          So this is a claim that it becomes reasonable & ethical to make negative generalisations abt a group if its seen as powerful. Why, exactly?

          No, you mean murderers and rapists. The assault rates more than warrant this generalization because it's backed up by facts.

          You can prioritize your safety without generalising men as violent rapists. That won't help in any way.

          Not good enough. You don't need a fragile ego to object to being blamed for your gender. Its reasonable to ask ppl not to be bigoted.
