Sure, but as one individual being your gathering of data is only within a very limited part of the world and no one calls you on your own confirmation bias (e.g. if you think women cry all the time, you'll be sure to see more crying women than you otherwise would).
Quote:The issue here isn't whether or not it's a generalization, since we generalize all the time. The real issue is, are the generalizations ones that are commonly found to be true?
The issue is with the generalization, just because we do it all the time does not justify you applying nothing but criticism towards a person, just because of her gender. And no, the generalizations you described does not ring true to me.
Quote:For example, if there's an explosion somewhere near a crowd of people, most of the screaming will come from the women, not the men. Generally, men don't scream in such situations. They tend to express their shock in other ways, but it is women who generally scream. We all know this.
We all know this? Proof, please.
Quote:I thought this was supposed to be a forum for people who like to discuss topics candidly and with sincerity
We are sincere and candid. Just because most don't agree with you doesn't mean that we're less frank or honest.
Quote:instead you're all so shitscared of the truth and you hide behind political correctness.
What truth, what political correctness? You're an idiot for hating based upon your generalizations. This has nothing to do with women, this has to do with you being narrow-minded and wrong on top of that.
Quote:What's the matter with people here? We all know that women and men are largely very different. It's the elephant in the room but you're so shitscared of it.
Yes, we're different, what of it? That was not the discussion, don't shift the goalposts.
Quote:I also notice that when anyone makes a negative generalization about men, no one says a thing. Or when a positive generalization is made about women, again, not a peep. But as soon as someone makes a negative observation about general female characteristics and behaviour, everyone is all up in arms. That's hypocrisy.
And you generalize. Again.
Let's see this list of yours. I'm going answer all your observations, if they describe me or not.
Try it out yourself, how many of those fit you (and how many fits your mom). I think that if even more gals of the site would answer, that you would see a clear pattern to how things really are.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
