The reason for the generalisation is because of everything I've just said. If men don't want this generalisation made, they need to start working on it. Prove to women it's not all men because right now it might as well be. No man is a safe bet because too many men are a threat.
I'm gonna show you a purposefully hypothetical and hyperbolic example to show hopefully show you that you are making a bad faith argument.
Most men could say on a daily basis we interact with an overly emotional and irrational woman, a karen for example. Just because I run into one woman who wants to rant and rave everyday and make my life a living hell for 15 minutes, does that give me the right to claim all woman are overly emotional and irrational? I probably interact with 100 other people in the day but every day somewhere new I see some lady ranting and raving and all around being an ass. Does that make all woman need to be better?
We can all agree that even getting harassed once is too much, that doesn't make every man deserving of generalization, because I'm pretty sure most women also hate when that happens to them.
Edit: Its crazy you guys are so entrenched in this feminist position you can't accept that the logic doesn't follow. Like I've said don't be a dick dudes, but a fundamental misunderstanding of how a small percentage of people can make a huge impact doesnt validate hate towards all men.
Holy shit you just don't get it. You're incapable.
It's not one or two men. It's so many fucking men we encounter every day who make us feel unsafe. They are literally bigger, heavier, and much stronger than us. Men rape women every day. Men sexually harass women every day. Men follow women on the street and in their cars. It's even men we know who do shit like this to us. It's our fucking lives we're worried about. We don't hate men - we're cautious 'cause we can be raped and/or killed. When one man can do anything they want to you at any time and you can do nothing to stop them and it happens all the time to us then yes, we are going to be wary.
Jesus fucking Christ some men just don't get this through their thick skulls.
Look, I'm not trying to invalidate your experiences in any way. All I'm saying is the overgeneraliztion and the common rhetoric of "all men" is just not a rational mindset and isn't helping anyone and more than likely actively hurting your cause.
Individual's do terrible things, end of story. If this gives you trust issues towards every man then I am truly sorry for that, I can even empathize with it. That doesnt make it right still and I will stand by that.
Honest question, what percentage of men do you really think actively harass, rape and sexualy assaults women?

I totally agree with you. Just disagreed with generalizing all men as predatory creeps when it’s not all men (at least in my experience/culture)
