I never really understood the hate for 'not all men' responses. I've seen it condemned in situations where someone would say something like "Men are rapists." ... and the response comes: "Not all men are rapists."
And then they get slammed.
But ... I mean, we all know know that not every guy in the world is a rapist. Not even most guys.
I also know that I have to protect myself from the ones that are or might be. But some people think that it's just some underlying programming and that all it would take is the right situation to bring out the 'rapist DNA' embedded in all men and I just ... don't get that at all.
It’s easy to see that it only applies to men for some reason. If you make categorical accusations about any other group of people, it’s totally fair to say “not all X.” But for some reason it’s bad when you say it about men.
