All guys are dicks!!

I really hate when people make rash generalizations. Like when a girl goes "All guys are dicks!!" or when a guy goes " All women are crazy bitches!!" or when a.., You get my point. Just because you encounter one person who is an asshole, or psychotic, or anything else doesn't mean that everyone like them is the same. This happens when somebody gets treated horribly. They then go on Facebook or whatever and share their thoughts on how much hatred and disregard they harbor towards a certain group a horrible person belongs to. For instance, if a guy where to get cheated on by a girl, he might post "All girls are lying bitch whores". Now, not all girls are lying bitch whores, I don't think even half are. But since a woman hurt him, women are all terrible. Same thing goes for anything. If a man were to get beat up by a black man, he might say" All black people are horrible criminals" Once again, definitely not always the case. The fact is, we like to generalize people into groups and then place the blame on the entire group rather than on the person really at fault. I would just like to ask people to stop doing this so absentmindedly. Remember, the individual does not represent the entirety, nor does the entity represent the individual.
