Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

So many

Don't extrapolate your social circle onto the entire population. If someone else's social circle contains no one like this, are they then justified in saying it's overblown and extremely rare? Somehow I doubt you'd think so.

This is no different from someone rationalizing/justifying a mistrust of black people based on the face that they were mugged once, and the mugger was black.

So many

onto the entire population

They weren't, if you understand English. They didn't even say most. Just: there are an amount that can, from some vague perspective, be considered a lot.

You chose to misconstrue what they said because that fits the agenda you're pushing all over this thread. You're guy #3, aren't you? You certainly seem offended enough to be.

That was a bit of hyperbole... I didn't mean a majority of men. Like a few particular jerks in a class, basically.

But they were so prolific that their 'body count' was pretty high. Hence I think it's fair to extrapolate a sample as a justification of this meme, as even 'a few' bad eggs can have enough of a disproportionate effect to justify the stereotype.
