Male bashing in the media

When a group is found guilty of – or responsible for – something, that doesn’t mean every member of the group is responsible at an individual level

Isn’t the complaint here that individual men are being held responsible (shamed and punished) for the things that other men (most of them long dead) have done over the course of thousands of years? I think @QuaSaShao and you agree on this point, that every member of the group (i.e. men) shouldn’t be held responsible for the actions of other members of the group.

As I said, that’s logical. And I don’t go around saying men are evil or hang out with people who do.

Yet if there’s no such thing as shared responsibility/benefit, then there’s no basis for social development – people should refuse to be “punished” by paying any kind of tax ever, and so on… (We have a thread about that, btw.)

Meanwhile, some members of the site want to sue the most populous state on the planet because of a virus. Not sure if you’re among them, but I think you get my point: there’s having cake and there’s eating it, and it gets weird when you try to do both.
