Fine but how common is denial of the normal distribution/within-group variation in practice? What win is #NotAll? Educating a few idiots?
If ~everyone already knows caveats of generalization—there's variation within groups—what does #NotAll win other than a cheap counterpoint?
If we can't make generalizations bc there are exceptions, how can we talk about populations at all? What difference is this from "shut up"?
We look at the facts and discuss them. eg '52% of British Muslims want homosexuality to be illegal' rather than 'Muslims are homophobic'
I'm not sure how to explain the difference between 'No, you're factually wrong' and 'shut up' if you don't already see it.
But shorthand speech isn't exactly factually wrong. If there is an enormous increase in a factor in a given group, it's true even if crude.
It is true that women hate science. If someone says this, I will also point out that it's true that women don't coz we're individuals.
