I think this is a real good explanation, thanks. I hope it will help me to cope when i next time come across a bad generalization. Tbh i shouldn’t even feel bad but my sister is also doing this and gets very upset when i point it out.

Negative feelings do for more engagement. Not really anyones fault but our brains.

It sure is sad.

I got to say what grinds my gears more than it should is that some people in their fight against mysogyny and patriarchy are really mindless in their wording. Just today when i browsed reddit (my bad i know) i came across a thread that rightfully was upset about bigoted gay men and someone wrote “being gay does not stop some men from being… you know men. Toxic and Misogynistic.” And i just felt getting upset and was wondering if it is really so hard to write “Some men, even when gay, still are toxic and mysogonistic”, which is probably what they wanted to say anyways. I think that this can push away some men that already feel dismissed or are struggling.
