Personally I've never been offended because I know I ain't the men they're talking about

I dunno, don't women find it offensive if people negatively generalize their gender? And for a good reason imo, even if they're not the women being talked about.

Your comments have a lot of All Lives Matter energy. The post isn’t a random generalization about men. It’s one that reflects society’s systemic sexism and violence toward women. There’s a power imbalance in the situation.

A lot of negative generalizations have some truth to them. But the act of negatively generalizing a group is something imo that should be avoided.

I don't care what "energy" being against such things gives out tbh.
