    Those examples are used because there is plenty of well-known racism and religion…ism (forgot the word) discussion along those lines. It’s like asking why people use squares and circles as their go-to example shapes, it’s part of the cultural consciousness. They’re using those examples because they know people consider them to be racist, and using that to imply that “men are rapists” is similarly sexist. It’s easy to twist this behavior into something problematic, but it’s really not.

    I feel like almost every time I’ve seen “not all men” in the wild, it’s in response to someone actually making generalized statements about men, not just someone stating that they must be cautious.









  • I’m not doing either of those things. I’m pointing out that things staying the same is preferable to them getting worse. Of course positive change is also better than stagnation. Those are both true. It’s a pretty simple scale IMO, progress > stagnation > regress. I don’t see where the misunderstanding is coming from; do you think I wouldn’t prefer progress?
