What was the quote... "Not all men, but definitely this one!"

Bringing up this bit of cognitive dissonance can get you banned if it applies to a community's dominant group, because people ironically tend to see it as a confirmation of their own generalizations about the target group, so if it applies to them it must be a general attack on them.

The entire "bear" thing is the exact same situation from the other side. The reality is that there is always nuance, while it is more popular / more often that people see the extreme outliers and attribute that to the entire group.

The point of the bear question isn't blaming men. It's assessing risk, and the risk of random man in the wilderness is far greater than random bear. Yes. A bear can maul, kill, and eat you, but a bear will never assualt, torture, or throw you in a pit for years on end. The risk of sexual and psychological abuse is worse to women than the threat of being eaten by an animal. It's not about blame at all.

I'm genuinely torn, because I support the message, but the execution is... very unclear.
