I keep noticing a pattern in posts here where one example is used to make a claim about an entire group.

For instance, “look at this video of a woman acting horribly—this proves what women are like.” If you flip it, it becomes “look at this video of a man acting horribly—this proves what men are like,” which most people would immediately recognize as unfair.

The same happens with personal experiences, where one bad interaction turns into “this is how women are,” but flipped it would be “this is how men are,” and again it sounds reductive.

It also shows up when extreme cases are used to define a whole group, like taking a situation where a woman lies or behaves badly and generalizing it to all women; reversed, it would be using one abusive or dishonest man to define all men.

In each case, the structure of the argument is the same, and it falls apart the same way: one example, one video, or one experience is not representative evidence.

This is just a big group of men in an echo chamber complaining that ''all women do/want this...'' Guys, it's just not true. There are billions of women out there, stop hyperfocusing on the one's who rejected you and your victimhood.

The world is not so simple as women are bad and men are good - you know there are bad or manipulative or absuive or predatory men out there, just like there are women, and there are also good men and good women.
