(13,324 posts)Almost seems like "protesting too much." Which isn't to suggest that you're a bad person or anything, but merely that your original post came off as defensive.
"I don't know where the hell some of you are living..." I don't think we're even talking about overt violence or abuse, in a lot of cases. But to belabor the point, human behavior is a continuum, where little bad things can lead to big bad things. So the little bad things - casual use of words like "slut," negative generalizations about women - should be questioned and held in check.
I don't think stereotyping and broad-brushing are good things. Don't get me wrong. But I also don't think the OP was necessarily doing so to begin with - I think that's more your overly defensive interpretation.
