    I read the heading “all men are dangerous” as a misrepresentation of the screenshot - which is what I’m pushing back on. I definitely don’t think that all men are dangerous. I would be relieved to think that the comments here take issue with the heading and not the body text/screenshot, but the comments I’ve responded to haven’t made that distinction.

      Really? Because there’s literally a line where the OP from the image references their statement of “all men are dangerous” that her husband then defends.

      It’s literally part of the screenshot. Even if they then go on to defend it with “I know it’s not all men, but I’m saying it because of sharks or something”.

      Okay, well let’s do some analysis then. If they say they know it’s not all men, but then immediately follow it up with saying they can’t tell which men it is, what message are we supposed to get? In the context of a comeback to someone disagreeing with “all men are dangerous”

      To me, it’s pretty clearly justifying the position of “all men are dangerous,” just with the caveat that they know it’s not actually all men, but that they have to act is if it is because there is no way to tell the difference.

      Do you not see that as a rationalization of treating all men like they are dangerous?
