I tend to agree with you about the issue of inflammatory words, but can’t we also make a case that people are lazily short-handing their arguments? “All men are trash” is perhaps less about condemning a group for their biology than it is about stating that a class of people cause most of the violence against women and the ones that don’t, do little to stop it.

It ends up getting condensed to the feeling it evokes, instead of taking the time to make the argument about why “all” men or whites or whatever get lumped together.
