I just have to vent a little;

"Notallmen" is one of the most annoying and whiny expressions ever! Yepp, we do generalize when we say that all men are potential abusers and/or rapists, because it's true. If you're not one of them, why is it so important to point it out?

I thought about that today, when I was traveling on the bus. (bus thoughts are the dressed equivalent of shower thoughts). Then it hit me!

The reason men freak out is simply because of the way generalisations typically work in society. Men's positive achievements tend to spill over to the whole group "men in general" and all men take credit for the achievements of one of them. Nobody ever questions that.

One man is a Formula 1 driver and drives really fast; yeah men are great drivers. One man is really good at math; yeah men are typically really good with numbers. (I think you get the idea)

On the other hand, if a man fucks up, it's never "men are so inept", but HE is so inept. In other words; positive matters = we're all great, negative matters = HE is a fuck up.

HOWEVER, women are instead generalized in negative matters; one woman crashes her car = women are lousy drivers. One woman falsely reports rape = women tend to make false allegations. A woman invents something fantastic = yeah THAT woman did OK.

In other words, men expect all generalisations about them to be only positive, whereas women are used to being generalized about on the negative. When a negative generalisation is made about men they react with *NotAllMeN*! They don't stop for a second to think about all the negative generalisations that women have to deal with all the time, every day. We're "tRigGerEd" when we object. Another glaring double standard...
