How universal is the tendency to hold a whole gender responsible for the misdeeds of a minority group within ?

Question

If you have examples from real life please do share.

I have two:

ONE:Sex crimes are mostly perpeterated by men therefore the whole male gender is under suspicion perpetually.The whole idea of a woman committing a sex crime looks ridiculous because she doesents have the proper equipment to committ such a crime.

TWO:The female gender only wants rights not responsibilities because apparaently most of them work in cushy enviourments and yet look down upon those rough craggy male workers who built the offices and roads and houses these women use.

If hypothetically these notions and mindsets were to disappear would there be a future worth looking forwrd to for both the genders in terms mutual love and respect?

Answer 1

OK first off why is it OK to hold ALL Single Mothers responsible for what a few single mothers do? WHY am i looked down on because a couple of women abuse the system when hard working single mothers get blamed all the time????? WELL

As for number 1 that is a great question. Women commit these crimes all the time. yet no one really holds them responsible. when women commit the crime people say they need help. when Men do it they are pure evil I see your point there.

2---- WOW I didn't know that retail work would count as a cushy jobs. i work in retail to support my Daughter and myself and I do NOT look down on anyone who has a job. and I also help out in a homeless shelter so PLEASE don't think ALL women have cushy jobs. some really do work hard ask any stay at home Moms. they deserve more credit and so do stay at home fathers.

As for wanting all the rights and NOT the responsibilities. WRONG. you are doing what you are asking about in this question. you assume all women don't take responsibilities when they DO. so in a way are you are just as guilty thinking all women do this. which is just as bad.

When BOTH Men & Women learn to value each other then we will be able to stop the junk that this STUPID life is throwing at us. and we need to stop looking down on anyone. and try and make the world a better place. OK i'm done God Bless

Answer 2

Men have all been tarred with the one brush. There is no denying the fact. It has for a good many years been a matter of political expedience to castigate Men for the errors of past generations.
The worst offenders have been Men. Not for what We have done, but rather for the stoic way We have accepted the generalized accusatory assertion that We must have played some roll in the serial rapist, child molester and wife beater culture that 'We' apparently support.
American men are notorious for giving ground on issues that determine the civil rights of Their Son's generation. Some people call it 'Liberal Thinking'. The rest of us look at it as being nothing more than a lack of intestinal fortitude.
The American system of government is based , not on checks and balances, but on a precarious application of compromises. Men demand respect, and then accept the contemptuously, grudgingly offered 'thanks' of an ungrateful female constituency.
You have a system of law that is prepared to let Innocent Men languish in prison rather than enforcing Their rights to due process because it is less constitutionally prevocative to do so.
If You truly want to regain whatever vestages of Your former self-respect You once had, then here is what You must do.
1).....Stop bleating like a sheep and stand up for Your rights.
2).....Challenge every statement, accusation, point of order or commentary made about, or against Men that You feel to be unjust, bigotted, unfounded, malicious or misandric.
3).....Demand, if necessary by evidenciary proceedure, proof that will corroborate (or repudiate) the concationation of accusation and actuality.
4).....Don't defend the indefensible actions of a minority of socially maladroit and culturally bereft neaderthals, whose very existence in anathema to homgenous and systematic reasoning.
Is any of that really so hard to do?
If nothing else, My answer may give You something to think about, possibly even act upon.
Cheers, Ashleigh.

Answer 3

example Stopping Rape A Challenge for men author says men need to help discourage attitudes by forming groups against it talking with women to stop it. i notice something even here a frustration that it happens.someone wanted to know why a high scool student who was murdered wore such skimpy clothes and did not protect herself adequately or have a gun. it does not matter what is worn can happen no matter what is worn some womem point this out as pervasive problem in attitude in court cases. point made in book even if not all are still have duty to make sure others do behave. thing is idea is baddie tries something on street bam. not always so easy number of circumstances to consider

Answer 4

Wow, holding a whole gender responsible.

Considering how I know women, even the one's I like, yep, I do stereotype.

I am a misogynist, but it's okay because I practice misandry, as well.

Just to get it straight, I learned how to dislike and distrust women in my first 20 years. It took a whole 40 years to dislike men.

Love and respect? What planet do you reside? Is the weather nice? What color is the sky?

Answer 5

Unfortunately the tendency is great. I , however, believe that only the individual can be responsible for their actions and not a gender group as a whole. In reference to "ONE" ...it does not take a penis to inflict yourself sexually on another. And in response to "TWO" .....the notion that women hold mostly "cushy" jobs is ridiculous....just ask your mother!

Answer 6

It's apparently very common, because you are doing the exact same thing you're accusing women of:

In your second example, you are stereotyping based on a few women, and then holding ALL women responsible.

Answer 7

Your first 'example' is based essentially on fact. Your second is utterly without basis or merit and is instead a set of assumption based on facts that are not in evidence. Too bad, because your second 'example' lost you whatever credibility you had.

Answer 8

Could be, could be; meaning it may be start.

Answer 9

Re: Two. Thanks for whichever office, road or house you built for me to use. 'Preciate it.

Answer 10

I'm totally with you on this!
