Generalizations both negative and positive (which i see plenty of for both genders) always miss this. But you do have to agree that as individuals theres a point where a lot of people will have the same XXXXX, if that grows large enough it can become a generalization and if it grows more it can become expected out of people |
it is inaccurate to apply it to a whole group. if i date 5 men and they are all assholes, i cannot conclude that all men are assholes.

What if you dated 150 men, and they were assholes? |

3. i can't pick men very well
4. they aren't actually assholes but i am biased against all men
5. i am lying - or changing my perspective with 20/20 hindsight
6. i am a b***h and so everyone acts like an as*hole to me
7... etc

it could be the same, but a person could act like a b***h to everyone (not just men)
