This is why we say “all men” btw. We cant let our guards down we have to view/treat them all as capable of doing something horrible, or risk our lives

I’m sympathetic but this line of argument can very easily be weaponized against Black and brown people

it only works in the men and women argument because most of the time the man is stronger/more physically capable of winning in the fight w the woman

because men get mad that “all men” generalizes but have no problem generalizing animals that could attack them, and can only understand the fear of not really being able to protect yourself then

I mean generally black people are stronger and faster than white people. If they weren’t, we’d see a lot more white dudes in the NFL. This logic of thinking just justifies racism and sexism.

So we’re generalizing people to show they’re ok generalizing animals. Is that to show generalizing people is good or to show generalizing animals is bad lol?

thats a stretch… a black man and a white man are an equal match in a standard fight… which is what this is referring to. a white guy doesnt go around fearing for his life all the time that a black man may kill him…. like women fear about men
