Generally Speaking...

Generally, generalizations become paradoxes. I know that by saying this I am making a huge generalization, but I am well aware that there are exceptions to that statement and, but they are generally rare. Wait. Was that...? Nevermind. I'll start my demonstration of how a generalization can become a paradox with what is quite possibly the both the most well known and misused generalization known to mankind: "All guys are douchebags!"

Allow me to ignore the generalization part of that for a moment. When did we started calling people that we don't like douchebags? I mean, what's wrong with a douchebag? It's a cleaning utility, and it cleans one of the most coveted part of the female body. Why is this society so against them? Ignore that, though, I'm getting off track. Girls will say something along the lines of all guys are douchebags, clearly meaning that they are all jerks and such. This is quite simply not true. Yes, a good portion of the male gender in the human species is made up of jerks, but it is NOT all of them.

But then the offending party says the dumbest thing in response, "Why do girls think that all of us are douchebags and jerks? All they do is sit there and complain about how horrible we all apparently are and don't even open their eyes to those of us who aren't jerks! They're all just friend-zoning the good guys! Man, what BITCHES!"

uhhhhhh.

So these generalizations are met with more generalizations from the generalized, which generalize those who are generalizing the aforementioned generalized. And you're probably sitting here reading this right now thinking "Now, I don't do that. Everybody else does that, but I don't."

See what I'm saying?

...people suck.
