"Not all men” replies are ridiculous

Just bumping hoping more people will see Daniel.

If men and their water carriers put as much effort into policing other men as they do into policing women’s language then the world would be a better place!

Daniel sloss makes a good point.

NAMALT brigade

That's a good way of describing them, I usually use "dick panderers" or "men".

I was at a networking conference this week representing the company I work for and I had spoken to both men and women during the evening.

It finished late and every attendee arrived on public transport, think busiest central city location with no parking. Near the end of the event a few women asked me which direction I was traveling in and we chose to all leave together. This was for safety reasons. This was intuitive, we didn’t discuss why but no one asked any of the men.

It was done casually and subtly and pretty much on auto pilot.

I may have preferred to carry on networking on the way home with one of the men but I took the precaution of the safest option,

I stubbed my toe on Monday is not a generalization

I Despair! 😩

That sentence is the opposite of a generalisation. It’s specific to that individual person. Can’t get any less general.

how about

woman gain 1-2 lbs of weight during their period

This is a generalization and obvious not all women will gain that amount or even have periods.

but I don’t hear anyone shouting “not all women”

I know this is a serious topic but you just gave me my laugh out loud moment for the day - thank you! 🤩

I had to finish a comment the other day with NAMALT because otherwise I would have be launched at by the NAMALT brigade 🙄 so I had to quantify it in advance.

All of this for me, too.

Oh, didn’t know women don’t commit any crime whatsoever.

You are wrong in how you assess your two underlined statements. They are both false generalisations. They are both FACTS, but cannot be generalised.
‘I stubbed my toe on Monday’ may be true, but is a false generalisation because I don’t habitually stub my toe on Mondays.

We’re getting into semantics, but those semantics are important if you want to win an argument, which we do (as women), to retain and reinforce our rights to protection against violent men.

Avoid being alone with them in the office at night if you didn't know them well.
Make sure any meetings that might cause heightened emotions were done in a place where others were close and that you sit nearest the door.
Avoid giving or accepting lifts home after work events.
Be alert for inappropriate attention (especially from those with power over you) tread the line between friendly and not too friendly.
Avoid giving out personal details like home number, address or getting into conversations that are too personal.

I would share a room with a female colleague if that was the only way of attending an important conference or meeting. I would not share a room
with a male colleague in the same circumstance and would rather cancel the conference or meeting even if it was important.

Hard to believe you asked this immediately after 10+ posts giving examples of the ways women modify our behaviour and constrain our own freedoms in order to reduce risk (from men)
And none of them apply to work settings. So what behaviour would a woman do differently around male colleagues only on the basis that they are men.

The chart didn’t upload but it’s here

Figure 1.01: Proportions of males and females throughout the CJS, 2023/2024, England and Wales

This is an interesting read for those interested in this discussion.
The table below shows

1. The vast majority of arrests are men.
2. More importantly the crimes women commit are far less serious

TV licence evasion was the offence with the highest proportion of female defendants in 2023.
In 2023, 74% of those prosecuted for TV licence evasion were female. This offence accounted for 12% of all female prosecutions.

Theft from shops was the most common indictable offence for female defendants in 2023.
Theft from shops accounted for 27% of all female prosecutions for indictable offences, compared to 12% for males.

3) But more women are actually prosecuted and convicted

Figure 1.01: Proportions of males and females throughout the CJS, 2023/2024, England and Wales

You can then see that females are massively under represented in the prison population despite higher conviction rates because their crimes are generally petty theft and therefore sentences are shorter.

Honestly, I think females should get a tax reduction.

Ah ok. Makes sense if you’re defining it by something else and the laws for similar offences have the same penalties.

No. Men as a class are more violent than women. Because of this, the men I work with are more likely to contain a violent individual than the women, so I will risk assess accordingly
So what does risk assessing accordingly means in day to day behaviour?

The OP is saying that when we say "men commit rape" there is no need for you to say "not all men commit rape" because we obviously know this already. If we laboured under the misapprehension every man in the world committed rape, we would say "all men commit rape."
The OP is ever so straight forward. All she's saying is unless you see 'all' in front of the word 'men' you don't need to NAMALT.
You are correct to generalise that men are more dangerous. Stats support this. If in that knowledge you treat your male colleagues with more caution than your female ones until you know them enough to have built a relationship of trust, that's probably very sensible of you.
