In modern western culture, women as a group are indeed above criticism.
If you were to make the same sorts of broad generalizations and value judgements that are made towards men as a group every day in major news outlets and universities against women, it would be derided as misogyny.
Any sort of statement about women as a group that could be perceived as negative must be predicted on the assertion that the potentially negative trait is due to society, patriarchy, or men.
These are my personal perceptions based on observing how discourse on sex and gender has been conducted over the last decade or so.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoBroad generalizations about any group, especially those that are obviously incorrect, deserve criticism. Half of the human population is not a monolith, lamenting that "women" all feel the same way about something just makes everyone else think you've never talked to many. Tons of comments here are basically "women only care about using your money" which is just obviously untrue in the aggregate but does reveal that you have only interacted with gold diggers. It says much more about the commenter than women.
- dahwolf 3y agoIt is consistently reported to be an almost flawless pattern: women do not date/marry down whilst men do. And they continue to show this behavior unchanged even when they have plenty of resources on their own. Hence, for women wealth is a primary and non-negotiable selector and they do pretty much behave as a monolith in this matter.
