One day, people will understand that “all men” is about how you can’t/shouldn’t trust men who are strangers because it’s statistically unsafe. All men who you don’t know are a danger. This is just facts. Once you know people, they’re not “all men” anymore, unless they do shady things.
I can almost guarantee there are women out there who actually do hate all men. Never underestimate the shittiness of the worst person. Yes, 99% of people that say “all men are bad” do mean “assume men are bad for safety”, but there will be some who axis refuse to challenge that assumption.
Very probably. So what you’re saying is that it’s implied that “not all women” that say “all men” mean it that way? And that we all understand that absolute statements are almost never meant that way?
I don’t know what percentage of women think this way, but I’ve anecdotally seen a fair few of them declare “all men are pigs” or something similar in response to being wronged by someone who happens to be a man. (Not in a mugging/assault type way)
Yes, and one day people will understand that Trump didn’t say all Mexicans are criminals and rapists.
The problem is, when you make sweeping generalizations like this, even if you add a disclaimer or explanation, you’re bound to severely misjudge some people, and you’re always going to have some folks who completely miss your clarification and will just run with “oh, so we should hate ALL of them then”.

If we can’t or shouldn’t trust people based on crime statistics, you’re not gonna like how this is going to end.
Most abuse comes from people that are close to the victim…
Can’t get abused if you never let anyone close taps forehead
I think what you meant to say was that it usually comes from within the family.
