Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living?
Nawor3565@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoThat’s a pretty sexist outlook. I don’t think the image makes an entire 51% of the population angry. And I think people like Jeff Bezos show that not all men require “so little to be happy”. It’s almost like genders are not hive-minds, and generalizing anything that broadly is only going to result in looking like a boomer who complains about how terrible their spouse is.

Wow look at you rushing to nobodies defence in the name of calling a joke sexist. Generally u can generalise most things.
Nawor3565@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
No, you should not “generalize” when those generalizations are negative and targeted at a specific group of people. That’s called stereotyping and is widely considered a bad thing.

Stereotyping is simply a relabelling of the basic human intellectual activity of categorising everything specificly in the context of human behaviour.
For example i can categorise your behaviour and take an educated guess or as u would call it steriotype you. I assume ur a male, i assume your american, i assume your politically left of centre left, i assume your going to vote for kamala harris, i assume you are pro choice, i assume u support ukraine and have concerns about gaza, i assume u believe in free speach yet feel the need to censor hate speech, misinformation, and malinformarion.
How accurate is my steriotype? do u see why its generally considered a usefull tool?
