The original post on this thread was valid.

Broadly painting 49% of the population isn't, and that degree of disparaging generalization shouldn't be acceptable.

If a statement was made on this forum that people of color, or trans people, or gay people, are typically purposely incompetent due to laziness there would be repercussions.

I'm just dumbfounded how any of you thought that was OK to say, to support, or to quote.

As someone who lived in an abusive home and did everything from earning a pay to packing the lunches for the kids, and who still received disparaging comments weekly of how useless I was, I can't tell you how much this implies about each of you. Because I STILL never generalize about ANY group of people despite my own experiences.
