Let’s Generalize About Men

Generalizations are a useful shorthand when trying to make a point; they’re problematic when you take the same broad brush and apply it to every member of  a group.

Rachel Bloom of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on the CW gets this one right.

Right now we’re angry and sad.

It’s our right to get righteously mad.

At every member of the opposite sex.

It’s our right to get righteously mad. At every member of the opposite sex.

“Oh god, we hate them. Let’s not distinguish between them at all.”

Let’s just drink a lot more alcohol.

And then high five each other as we make a bunch of blanket statements.

Let’s generalize about men.

Let’s generalize about men.

Let’s take one bad thing about one man.

And apply it to all of them.

Let’s conflate all the guys.

Let’s generalize about men.

All men are completely repressed.

All men only want to have sex.

There are no exceptions, all three billion men are like this.

All 3.6 billion men.

And why do men never listen and only think about themselves.

As opposed to women who always listen and never think about themselves.

Let’s generalize about men.

Let’s generalize about men.

Let’s get super lit, and not admit this is some kind of primal ritual we need now and then.

Maybe our spirits will rise if we generalize about men.

All men are stupid and childish.

Even the ones who are smart and mature.

All every man does every day is watch porn, eat wings, burp, fart, and snore.

All every man does every day is watch porn, eat wings, burp, fart, and snore.

Gay men are all really great.

Every single one.

They’re never mean, just sassy.

They’re all completely adorable and fun.

So let’s focus for now on straight men.

Let’s just generalize about them.

They’re all monsters. They’re murderers. They’re rapists.

Totally.

Your sons are gonna be rapists.
