And therein is the crux. Boxes? Who puts people in boxes? Well, racists do, because they think all black people are alike in certain ways. And sexists. And homophobes. Lots of people, and it’s never a good thing. It leads to individuals being treated unfairly because they have been forced into a box that does not fit them.
In today’s woke society, progressives, however, are the worst transgressors. “Basket of deplorables.” “Toxic masculinity.” “Fascists.” (Seriously, have they ever looked up what that word means?) “Teabagger.” These are boxes they put other people in, and once you’re in the box, it takes something pretty amazing to get you out of the box.

NEW ESSAY: People in Boxes

Feminazis put all men in the same box. That one that fish put bicycles in.
generalizations are fine as long as they are based on accurate info and experiences
that’s part of our pattern matching and recognition of situations and how people act
in the past it was in the realm of what people called common sense
where it goes south is when they are inaccurate and deliberately biased away from accurate info and experiences
for example, one generalization trotted out here all the time is “nothing good ever happens after 2am”
its not taken as an absolute that every single thing after 2am is a bad thing
its an acknowledgement that from experience and data, more bad stuff seems to happen late at night and the early morning
its a generalization people are happy to accept and repeat
no one sits there and gets pissy about the negative connotation because they know no one means 100% of all things after 2am are bad
