    there is an unspoken understanding that if you are not one of those people, then the joke or the post doesn’t apply to you.

    The subtlety gets lost sometimes, but if you’re not one of the bastards, then the statement doesn’t apply to you.

    But it does apply to you, you even admit it. Maybe we should just condemn all sweeping generalizations? Nobody should have to deal with being triggered because someone is raging against your race, gender, nationality, etc

        “girls were being mean on the internet so now I’m a fascist” is a terrible argument and you should feel bad for attempting to legitimize it. You can criticize women without blaming them for all your problems, you know.
