MODERATORS
Hating people because of their gender is bigotry, and if you use "all" to mean "most" that is a misuse of language
You must be one of those getting offended when women pick the bear in the forest, huh?
There is real blowback to marginalized people with these shorthands, though: https://www.tumblr.com/luckyladylily/752119106260615168/so-a-few-months-ago-there-was-the-discourse-about.
In a similar manner, it's long been a consideration within black communities the ways that black men get targeted in ways unique – though particular – from black women, for being both black and male, and how purportedly generalized anxieties about men will often get triggered with frequency towards black men and then lean on racism to ensure some sort of enactment to quell that anxiety.
Honestly, changing the saying to "I hate most men" is a really minor change and would cover for criticism from those asshole men. And it makes more sense for our usage.
But then less men would self-identify as assholes in the responses.
Don't worry, they will find a way to show us they are assholes. They always do.
Meh, easier to get mad at you and refuse to change because they can't possibly be making a mistake
Exactly the same as when they say "all men are dangerous" instead of "all unknown men have the potential to be dangerous"
They are already refusing to change though. "I hate all men" clearly it's really winning them over, and it just makes it easier to discredit us as misandrists.
Everything is becoming so polarized that we are losing nuance. If we ever want to actually change things for the better, we have to stop reaching for the easy slogans and bring the nuance back.
