If you believe the original point was questioning the dictionary definition, I'll leave you to ponder what else they could have been trying to say. Personally, I think grouping all men together isn't constructive a lot of the time

I agree. It seems to be to be a case of 'sounds like it might be right, lets see how far we can run with it'. Ultimately, I can only see a few benefits of this line of enquiry. E.g. "Honey, I'm sorry - but it's not
