My misogyny

[Kayenneh]

The problem isn't that I'm generalizing. No one here really has a problem with generalizations. Everyone who has criticized me for making them makes them themselves.

Uh, yes it is the problem. And could you give an example of the generalizations made towards you, I'm not sure what you mean.

The problem is the nature of my generalizations. They simply don't want to hear NEGATIVE generalizations about WOMEN. And that right there is the real issue. That's why they're arguing with me, not because I'm wrong, but because it makes them extremely uncomfortable to hear negative generalizations about women. That's all it is. Even the fact that I myself am a woman doesn't change anything, in fact it makes them even more uncomfortable.

No, you have made biased observations and come to faulty conclusions, that's what I have a problem with. I would be on your case if you said that all porn is bad, that all atheists love spinach and that all Somali men are rapists. The topic itself is actually irrelevant.

But I tell you what. I haven't had even 10% of the criticism that a man would get if he showed up here and said the things that I've said.

Wrong. This guy.

So, as much as Rahul has a very valid point about generalizations and stereotypes, it really isn't necessary, since no one is actually against generalizations or stereotypes (despite what they may say). What is really rattling cages is the fact that I'm making NEGATIVE generalizations about WOMEN. If I came here making negative generalizations about MEN, it would be a very different story.

Indeed, Rahul's opinion on stereotypes I can agree upon, to an extent. But your opinions aren't stereotypes, it's just disgust and hate towards women. Example: "All women have poor sense of direction and 3D, but are good at social networking." That's a stereotype. "All women suck because they're women" is a hasty generalization.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if I'd come here making negative generalizations about men.

No need to wonder, that topic has been covered. It didn't sit well with most of the members.
