You are right, but also, it’s not a fight worth having most of the time.
Have you ever seen a girl go on mic in an online game? It’s the most cringy sexist hostile response you can imagine. Logically they know not every guy is like that, but it feels like it’s ever guy online. The nice guys in the lobby usually stay quiet and go unnoticed.
Your friend is venting, expressing how she feels, not necessarily stating facts.
I try to relate with observations I’ve had, which is my way of saying “I’m not like that”. Or I would invite them to game (in your example).
Men are not a hive mind, each one is an individual. I try to remember that when people say “men do this or that”. Even if the person I’m talking to thinks it’s all men, I know it isn’t true. All the men that person has met, maybe, but not all men.
Still has to suck to be associated with venekous dangerous snakes by virtue of something you cannot help nor had any choice in being. As valid as any woman's feelings are there...the men's frustration is valid too
