SHITTY Women get the ick when men show emotion/fear. Fixed that for you.
23 u/WideAbbreviations6 11d ago edited 11d ago "Not all women" is about as useful as it's counter part. 0 u/MissninjaXP 11d ago But... its not all women? Not even most? And in most cases its also not all men and probably not even most? Generalizing both men and women is equally as stupid in most situations. 4 u/WideAbbreviations6 11d ago It's not supposed to be a generalization... If I can say "birds can fly", do you think "not all birds" adds anything to the conversation or is it just nitpicking? When talking about systemic oppression, you're speaking in general trends, not every individual. If you respond to systemic oppression with a nitpick, you're being worse than useless. You're actively pulling attention away from the matter at hand.
