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.

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.'

No, they're not. Yes, most rapes are committed by recidivist sex-offenders.
