Sure, but I didn't change it so much that I erased "culture."
You've made more specific the thing you wish to discuss.
That would be culture, which is a general thing.
It is, in fact, possible to talk about a cultural phenomenon without using generalizations. If you wish to "include" generalizations (as your latest post has it), that's up to you, but it isn't "necessary to make generalizations" (as you stated in an earlier post).
Make three statements regarding cultural phenomena and I will show at least three times why they are generalizations.

Oh, come on now, Fatalis. I feel like we're playing merry-go-round word games. I said you made it more specific by adding the word "phenomenon," and you reply by using the word "culture" alone, without the very word that I said made what you wished to discuss specific.

Will one do? I'm supposed to be working here. :-) How about this: "In 2002, 1.5% of all native-born Japanese women between the ages of 18 and 25 married a native-born American man, an increase of 87% over the previous year."
No word games. Play nice. And remember two things: first, you said generalizations were "necessary" in discussing cultural phenomena, and second, your post, the one to which most people responded, talked about American women "on the whole."
