I find that when I treat people as individuals

as not as members of one classification or another, that it makes the world a much simpler place.

Just my 2 cents...

That's a good strategy for dealing with individuals; it is less good when dealing with groups el_bryanto May 2014 #4

...so I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to denounce you as a misogynist, rail about how you "just don't get it", and tell you to shut up if you can't get with the program.

for members of one group to ignore what other members of that group are doing, rather than calling them out on it.

For example, when some Catholic priests ignore rampant sexual abuse among their ranks because they personally didn't do it, no one would say, "Well, then, that's okay." Sometimes your silence makes you guilty.
