    Not all men, but always men.

    1. No shit, we’re talking about condoms, goofball.
    2. How would you feel about someone saying “throwing your newborn into a dumpster, women are horrible…the truth is, it does happen. Not all women, but always women”? Would you instantly magically understand the massive logical flaw once the ‘target’ isn’t a demo you’re already biased against?

      My point is that saying “not all men” every time a problem is addressed is undermining the discussion. Until you have experienced the relentless harassment of women by a subset of the male population, funnily enough present in every country on Earth, please don’t lecture me on bias.

        saying “not all men” every time a problem is addressed

        saying “not all men” every time all men are held accountable for what a tiny minority of men do*

        Fixed.

        The only thing it “undermines” is the sexist generalization.
