i think it’s really funny that it’s perfectly acceptable to many to laugh at a guy for saying “not all men” and make it a popular joke

but when it comes to something like pitbulls it’s “NOT ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE THAT THERE’S THIS HUGE PROBLEM IN THE MEDIA PORTRAYAL AND BLABALA”. but nobody makes fun of them. nobody laughs at them for saying that not all members of a certain gene group are dangerous. they agree.

so certain types of generalizations are accepted and others are not? why can’t we just accept that nobody is the same and it’s not okay to assume people and animals and whatever else is bad before you even know it/them. it’s just sad how much glorified paranoia i see on my dash, because it’s really not healthy to think that way at all. it triggers so much more bad than good and influences more than you think.

So yeah. Not all men. not all women. not all humans. not all cats. not all dogs. not all couches. not all sharks. not all skydiving trips. not all bugs. not all foods. Unless it is fucking proven with evidence that a species or event happens a certain way like a chemical formula or a mindless survival tactic that a mosquito possesses,… don’t assume. don’t generalize.
