Firefighters should stay home. Let the feminists go fight fires.

"Generally, the men return home from fighting fires, and subject them to domestic violence".

General: affecting or concerning all or most people or things; widespread.

She committed a massive logical fallacy by implying that the majority of male fire fighters go home after work and beat their partners. There is no evidence to support this fallacious claim whatsoever. Her argument is:

P = The majority of male fire fighters go home after a fire and beat their partners.
Q = Therefore, the majority of male firefighters are guilty of domestic abuse.

P -> Q
P
Therefore, Q

However, the premise (P) is monstrously untrue, so her argument is in fact:

P -> Q
¬P
Therefore, ¬Q

Furthermore, if she is arguing that fighting fires causes a male firefighter to go home and beat his partner, then the same is true for female fire fighters, as its the act of fire fighting that leads to domestic violence:

P = Fighting fires causes people to engage in domestic violence.
Q = Therefore, the majority of fire fighters, both male and female, engage in domestic violence after fighting a fire.

P -> Q
P
Therefore, Q

However, this is of course also fallacious, hence it is actually:

P -> Q
¬P
Therefore, ¬Q

I'd like to met one, just one feminist on the planet who thinks their arguments through logically.
