      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.'

      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?

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

          My comment was about men approaching women. I'm not sure why it's this hard to extrapolate. My bad.

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

          You know exactly what I mean by approach in the context of the tweet thread you were on.

          Not really. Do you mean approach them to be abusive? Or approach them knowing somehow that they're not welcome? Or just approach them?

          I don't think the majority of men approach women with ill-intent. I'm sure most of them have approached a woman who is not interested.

          Ill intent is slightly subjective here. I think they don't understand how fucking annoying it is and sometimes threatening it can be.

          They can't know if the woman will be interested or not, no. All they can do is try & be polite & non-threatening.
