I suspect I’ll get downvoted for this, but… maybe we just shouldn’t make any sweeping generalizations about a whole group of people?
If someone says “Blacks are criminals” it’s perfectly valid to say “Not all black people are criminals.” If the first person comes back and says “I never said all black people,” they’re being intentionally obtuse and should be told they’re full of shit. That goes for any similar statement; women are bad drivers, men are rapists, etc. Being slightly more precise is ridiculously easy, there’s no reason to accept generalizations.
Men are from mars. Mars is a possible candidate for human colonization and even potential terraforming if technology advances thus. There’s even water on mars.
Women are from Venus. Venus is a choking, poison greenhouse. The probes we have sent there have lasted mere minutes in that caustic hellscape. Venus is toxic.
