Pretty simple. Resist the urge to see people based on their membership in this or that group, and instead focus on each individual. People are not responsible for the actions of other people that may seem outwardly similar to them, they are only responsible for their own. Life is harder when you remember this, but it’s the honest truth.
4 day old bait account?
Also, realize that every single person is an individual. I know a lot of shitbags who are men, a lot of shitbags who are women, and a couple shitbags that are trans, and a couple shitbags that are gay, and…
Their status as a shitbags has nothing to do with gender or orientation.
Assuming any homogeneity in a group as large as ‘the opposite gender’ is foolish. People with any combination of parts and identities can be dumb pieces of shit, so it’s hardly fair or even reasonable to hate that entire group of the actions of a subset.
Does that make the things you read any less upsetting? No, nor should it. Especially online, people are emboldened to say some pretty heinous shit. They don’t, however, represent all guys, gals, or whatever else.
Dont generalise people?
Read what your own gender posts within an equivalent level of crazy and you should get an idea of how representative what you’re reading is.
It’s not that people are crazy because of their gender/race , it’s that they are crazy and acting like a crazy member of their culture
On the inverse of that, I like to look at “femcel” stuff to see that it’s not just men who are bonkers
Erm… isn’t that exactly what I suggested? Or are you a guy?.. I think I just assumed your gender. Sorry (it’s late and was confusing)
Yes, I’m a guy. Ashamed of incels, but happy to read femcel to see that it’s not just guys that are insane.
Taking it a step further, I wonder how many people I caused to go on to hate humanity because of something I wrote online
by not generalizing what someone(s) may say to what all persons sharing the same gender would say?
It’s quite simple actually, if you ever reach the point where you’re considering being a sexist unironically, it’s time to log off and go do something offline for once. Being open to bigotry is the number 1 sign that they’re chronically online.
Internet people are fuckeng stupid and do not represent real life. Have a nice day.
Internet person here. Can confirm.
A few possibilities
- learn not to overgeneralize
- don’t & become an incel just like them
- change your gender?
