What is it about this that is so hard for you to grasp? She compared the behavior under discussion to the behavior of, and I quote, "the less evolved TYPE of 15 year-old boy". Not to 'less evolved 15 year-old boys'...which would imply all 15 year old boys are less evolved. But to the less evolved TYPE of 15 year old boy...which proposes there is a TYPE of 15 year old boy that behaves the same way the poster that started all this behaved.
This is the last post I'm making on this topic. After this point I'm just going to assume that you're intentionally mis-interpreting the post. Like one of the members of the Texas legislature once said to a colleague while describing a bill..."I can read it to you but I can't understand it for you."
