Generally speaking I am one to try to fight the temptation to lump people into groups, though with that being said, there are times when it is appropriate. What I mean is I think that most of us do this from time to time it's just when you generalize to the point of stereotyping that it becomes a problem. I won't elaborate but even where such things as statistical knowledge applies with regards to people, they are just generalities that show trends, not a fixed rule that applies to every person that falls into that group. The problem is some people rely on such "trends" as a way of just generalizing.

There are things about me being a male and fitting into certain groups which apply, but at the same time there are always exceptions to the rules and though we may fall into general trends it goes without saying that in the majority of ways we are individuals and distinct.

I try to remain cognizant of the individual's aspects in every way but I will confess I'm sure there have been more than a few times where I've fallen into the temptation and lumped people too.

I won't be the one to cast the first stone about this. I do think many do fail sometimes in this area
