  I’m not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.

  None of the definitions I can find for blanket generalizations require deceit.

  It’s simply a fallacy defined by inductive conclusions.

  You unintentionally and in good faith made a paradox under the misunderstanding that deceit was required.

    You don’t need to intend to be deceitful to be deceitful, just like you don’t need to intend to kill someone to kill them.

    The world is not sweeping absolutes. Painting it as such always obscures some truth, this post is no different.

      That’s a sweeping absolute, but this conversation is obviously going nowhere, have a good one friend.

        It isn’t, but it might seem that way if you look at the world through absolutes.

        You are correct that this conversation is going nowhere, it seems like most of you clearly agree with the post.

      It’s a good thing the person in the video specified she’s taking about men who have the audacity to judge women’s bodies and body hair publicly then.

        Yeah that context is important, the title is enough to make me write the whole thing off.

        I understand why clickbait strategies are common, I am just not the common denominator that they’re aimed at. Am I judging a book by its cover? Yes… but I’d also judge ‘Notes on How to Skin a Baby’ by its cover so… idk.
