Not exactly, if you want me to blunt I am saying that if everywhere you go there are assholes, then the asshole is probably you. You being a woman is inconsequential

Friend, it's not that this is a fact, it's that you brought it into the conversation. It's also genuinely not all men either, the problem is that every time a woman speaks up there's a chorus of men ready to respond "Not All Men" instead of actually listening.

I am listening, I think it’s a case by case basis and generalizations just alienate people instead of making them empathetic or sympathetic.

I also know that people tend to downplay women’s concerns as part of misogynistic histories, so I am mindful of that too. I do my part to speak up against these kinds of patterns when I see them

Edit I am just giving my pov, I wish there was a way to know which approach is more helpful.

Edit 2 but yeah, I tend to generalize too, so I get the need to do it when something annoys you enough
