I'm not defending bronies or whatever, I don't really give a crap but when you bring all men into it, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I was always told feminism was about quality but now it seems like you're just throwing all men in the dirt when only a few deserve it. I'm not trying to be an asshole but someone has to stand up for the good people right?

Have a reread read of my post. At no point have I used the phrase all men. I am - very clearly, given the context - talking explicitly about men who behave in specific ways about specific issues. I shouldn’t have to preface each and every usage of the word men with the word some in order for that to be apparent. Look at it from the point of basic language comprehension: if I say that dogs make good pets, you wouldn’t think I was talking about literally every dog in the history of ever. Clearly, some dogs bite! Clearly, some dogs are dangerous! Clearly, some dogs are wild, or working animals! Rather, I’m making a general statement whose specifics you can reasonably infer from the context: namely, that if we’re talking about which animals make good pets, then dogs are going to be at the top of the list.
