Any individual who make blanket comments about whole sections of society will loose my respect pretty quickly.

Substitute women, blacks, Asians, Latinos, the Dutch, and just about every other subsection for the word “male” in that statement and this thread would be having a completely different conversation.

Well, it's kind of motivated if we're talking about the Dutch.

I mean there are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other cultures and the Dutch.

In before somebody criticizes the Dutch for raping the Congo. That was the Belgians! The Dutch raped Indonesia.

It was implied (if not outright said, which I believe they did but whatever it's a possibly made-up sister from a random person on the internet.)

Nope.

When you're talking about demographics, you do not need to carve out exceptions for every single little outlier—it would be useless to talk about them otherwise.

It implies they had some bad dates.
