I was for the phrase “All men” until I read this. Now I’m not so sure how I feel about it. This really does put it in a different light, and I’ve known of people who felt this way unironically about black people, and they were pretty damn racist.
There’s gotta be a better way to phrase it without the sweeping generalization. I also feel like it does contribute to a huge loneliness issue on both sides of the aisle.
Women's fear and sense of danger around men is justified, but vocally broadcasting and generalizing all men only makes the problem worse and isolates men who have the potential to be good/allies.
Thank you. I feel like we’ve strayed so far from what feminism was originally about. There is no equity or equality being talked about in this thread. It’s vengeance and hate and retribution, but to all members of one sex. No one is solving problems with this rhetoric. They are alienating more people and then doubling down when people they get pushback. They take the morally right stance and then generalize until they are actually being extremely immoral.
People need to snap out of this bloodlust and remember what it really means to have an ally.

"It's all black people until it's no black people". Welcome to being a raging racist!
"You won't be offended by this sweeping generalization if you aren't one of the bad ones!"
