    You don’t need to intend to be deceitful to be deceitful, just like you don’t need to intend to kill someone to kill them.

    The world is not sweeping absolutes. Painting it as such always obscures some truth, this post is no different.

    Edit: I’m just wrong here, I was misusing deceitful.

      think anyone that makes blanket generalizations

      That’s a sweeping absolute, but this conversation is obviously going nowhere, have a good one friend.

        Edit: that wasn’t fair of me. Let me rethink this response.

        Edit2: I recognize the paradox here, I think I was using deceit incorrectly. I accept your responses, thanks for being cordial.

      It’s a good thing the person in the video specified she’s taking about men who have the audacity to judge women’s bodies and body hair publicly then.

      Since she’s talking about a specific subset of men, it’s not a blanket generalization.

        Yeah that context is important, the title is enough to make me write the whole thing off.

        I understand why clickbait strategies are common, I am just not the common denominator that they’re aimed at. Am I judging a book by its cover? Yes… but I’d also judge ‘Notes on How to Skin a Baby’ by its cover so… idk.

          Comparing men that don’t like women’s natural bodies to murdering and skinning a baby sure is a choice you made.

          It’s ok if your kneejerk reaction was to be defensive. It’s also ok to re-examine the post and realize that just because you are a man doesn’t mean they’re talking about you.
