In this particular context geberalizations derived from something people read somewhere or heard from someone are not helpful for struggling people at all. They aren't helping their misguided views at all. There is a thread after thread about same thing yet men in question still don't improve in that area at all.
Of course one can start separate thread about their general misconceptions and stereotypes about various groups of people. Maybe it would be better than reenforcing those stereotypes in those who don't benefit from it.
Most certainly a lot could be learned from literature and studies and internet. But not all.
At some point it might be useful to start getting to know real people, start approaching them, getting help and hopefully improve. I don't see how making generalizations helps to improve interpersonal skills in men who struggle in that area.
