A real comment I received on an essay shout out to my professor for proving academics, too, can be fuckboys

ARE YOU KIDDING

Do you know anything about essay writing? In academics, you avoid generalizations. Primarily because it’s wrong - you shouldn’t generalize anything unless

A) Common sense would dictate that it would be superfluous - things that are easily observable that wouldn’t need to be cited.

or B) It can be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. 

You’re in college - you have most likely written many essays before this. You have most likely been told that generalizations are a big thing to avoid because it’s impossible to paint everyone in a group the same. If I were to write something like “Women are X Y or Z” then it would be counted off - because I generalized 50% of the population without considering the individuals. It’s not someone being a fuckboy, it’s doing what they’re supposed to be doing and making sure you’re being a good student.
