"Not all men but always a man" is a stupid statement

JAGJANO · 2026-07-20T16:56:05+00:00

People shut down when we apply that logic to Racial groups

ReasonableDoubt_0726 · 2026-07-20T16:53:35+00:00

It’s just a word play to get away with saying all men in a different way. And then if you challenge it twist it into an attack on you.

The other thing is it’s always used about rape. Lots of countries word rape legally so it can only be committed by a man. So it’s not the gotcha people seem to think.

"Never in a lesbian relationship." is a false statement.

MisanthropicHethen · 2026-07-20T21:59:26+00:00

It's just misandrist slogan of the most offensive type a human can make, but because they're woman they get a free pass. If you applied this structure of this slogan to ANY OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC and had it said by a non-woman, they'd be locked up:

"Not all blacks, but always a black"

"Not all asians, but always an asian"

"Not all jews, but always a jew"

"Not all gays, but always a gay"

"Not all mentally ill, but always someone mentally ill"

"Not all people with blue hair, but always a blue hair"

"Not all women, but always a woman"

"Not all immigrants, but always an immigrant"

"Not all poors, but always a poor"

To me it's just a passive aggressive demonstration of supremacy, of their unchecked power. "Look at what ONLY we can get away with, and there's nothing you can do about it". It's unhinged narcissism and cruelty.

Also, it's completely unsupported by the data. Recent studies by organizations CONTROLLED BY WOMEN have accidentally revealed that the abuser rates are almost 50:50, and they immediately tried to remove them and cover it up. People are waking up that the "man bad" thing is total bullshit, which is partially why women are massively overrepresented in organizations that track abuse of all kinds. They are essentially running a cartel manufacturing their own talking points to keep themselves in political and cultural power forever. These kinds of people have the gall to complain about Trump being in power for too long, meanwhile they have had an almost 100% stranglehold on the institutions that research these issues...why is one group supposed to follow the rules and relinquish power when times up, but they're free and clear to have a monopoly on policy for 25-50 years straight! Absolute fucking hypocrisy.

It's a illogical and statistically illiterate piece of rhetoric.

It'll never go away because they've been using irrational, statistically illiterate, illogical, rhetoric with cherry picked data forever and no one ever asks anything more of them. No on is going to challenge them as long as the target is men.

They may even know that it's not a useful statement, but it doesn't matter. They aren't interested in making the world a better place or helping women, they just want to disparage men and hurt you.

UWontHearMeAnyway · 2026-07-20T17:30:15+00:00

Of course it is. The point is not to be logical. It's to shut the other down. If you notice, they say it until men collectively come up with a response that makes it look dumb. Then, they change it to counter. Then men must come up with another.

It's all a smokescreen to keep men thinking about a possible response, rather than collectively address the main issue.

Superb_Donkey1408 · 2026-07-20T17:49:45+00:00

It’s just stereotypical speech that makes no logical sense. You can’t just assume only men do a certain action because it was once committed by a man. These statements are made by illogical sexists.

Ok_Monitor4492 · 2026-07-20T20:28:53+00:00

They say this to be intentionally inflammatory.

bulimic_squid · 2026-07-21T03:27:38+00:00

Every time you see a post praising women, put the comment "not all women".

Makes them insane with rage.

BattlepassHate · 2026-07-20T22:08:59+00:00

That’s what you get when in countries like the UK, a woman legally cannot commit rape or be labelled a rapist due to how the law is written.

Heavy_Consequence441 · 2026-07-21T00:53:14+00:00

Not all females but always a female

Zealousideal_Life323 · 2026-07-21T05:22:27+00:00

I was SA by woman and no believed me. (I’m woman too)

Fr for every crime it's not that hard to find one for the opposite gender

“Not all liquor makes me vomit & suffer a hangover. . .but it’s always liquor that makes me vomit & suffer a hangover.”

(1.) Avoid the specific liquor that makes you vomit & gives you a hangover.

(2.) Drink less & take responsibility for the drink choices you make.

LaoboZeus · 2026-07-21T10:16:58+00:00

I don't like the premise that most MRA tacitly accept that it's mostly men who do bad things. I also respect all genders and I don't like that men are bad myths. In fact, I hate this narrative like males are the most of those who commit violence. No, males don't commit the most violence.

intoto · 2026-07-21T15:29:09+00:00

I tell women I will not discuss anything with anyone who uses "always" or "never". I am not obligated to fix your lack of critical thinking skills and use of imprecise language. I do not have to engage in capricious, impulsive diatribes.

I am not having sex with you (you have no power) and I am not your daddy.

Current_Finding_4066 · 2026-07-20T17:02:16+00:00

They lie there is not plenty of bad women out therem

Archinboldo · 2026-07-20T22:02:33+00:00

Son rapidas para generalizar por cosas malas pero se hacen las ciegas cuando les indicas profesiones filantrópicas o actos desinteresados en los que la lista la encabezan hombres.

entingmat2 · 2026-07-21T02:15:22+00:00

Makes about as much sense as "not all blacks but always a black"

Eastern_Awareness216 · 2026-07-21T12:08:12+00:00

I wonder how people would (or do) feel about applying the same logic to women?

"Not all women but always a woman" when it comes to FALSE accusations being made.

Brilliant_Many_8463 · 2026-07-21T16:56:13+00:00

We can use such logic to attack feminists, and they will contradict it themselves.

Eg. She betrayed me. Not all women, but always a woman.

Vast_Butterscotch809 · 2026-07-21T17:45:24+00:00

I've seen people start using it in a positive context, which I actually kinda like. For example, a man saves someone? Not all men but almost always a man. Even if it's not accurate in this context, it's not accurate in the usual context either. Like how 99% of rapists are men? The only reason that's accurate is because the definition hinges on being something that only men can do.

Beneficial-Owl2364 · 2026-07-21T19:09:49+00:00

When you state a pattern you see with women, you get the parroted phrase 'women are not a monolith' (but men are?)

They are the same hypocrites who say 'all men...'

SpicyTunahRoll · 2026-07-21T19:38:13+00:00

Not to stir the cauldron, we also live in a world that men are not all created equal. Like you can be a man, but if you're not white, and if you're black as tar or yellow as a banana, green like apple... any of those colors you're less of a man. It's like adding after layers after another. Unless you're white and a man. .. again not trying to steer things here.. just adding more holes into the barrel

Illadrex2 · 2026-07-20T20:21:10+00:00

I mean you clearly don't understand rhetoric then. Statistically, if we are talking about rapes, most perpetrators are men. Even if you want to go men who get raped, most are by other men. So what would you rather it say? Not all men, but 95 percent of the time it's a man?? That's stupid, and I'm a MRA, but some of you just complain about the dumbest things/things that keep people from taking our legitimate concerns seriously.
