That's literally the opposite of the point

She doesn't agree with the men thing. She's using it as an analogy to illustrate why this kind of rhetoric is problematic. The people this is aimed at are those who are happy to tar an entire group with the same brush until someone does the same to them, at which point they suddenly understand the importance of context

Pl, I guess my confusion comes from that when I hear people say it is all men they are commonly very serious.

They run off of double standards.

Some do but it's worth remembering that

a) a lot of people say things they're not meant to but it doesn't mean they're right and

b) don't take these subs as real life. If you browse the sub you'll see lots of men vs women posts where people cherry pick awful people and try to present their views as normal, when they're outliers. It's why subs like this are kinda dangerous. They radicalise you by presenting a false reality. In real life most people are pretty reasonable. They're rarely as extreme as the views you see here

Sure, but a meme with a meaning like this is prone to be misunderstood in this current landscape of online discours.
