      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.'

      ....Why do you think being a man is the same thing as being muslim? lmao men are in a position of power and dominance, muslims arent.

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

      Crime statistics back this up. Not headphone listening, but crimes against women after they've rejected men (who say they just want a convo)

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

          Generalizations like this are the basis for racist/sexist beliefs and behavior.

          I didn't realize wymn prioritizing their safety was sexist. The bias here is ignoring unwanted advances.

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

          And that includes advising someone against approaching someone w/ headphones in. Regardless of gender.
