Stop generalizing your bad experience onto everyone

Posts in this subreddit are increasingly getting sexist towards all genders and any other way that you can think of stereotype.

Recent examples included “Are men like this?” and “Are women like this?”. most of these were based on 1 or 2 incidents caused by 1 or 2 people. The funniest part was them asking whether everyone is like this.

I am a man. Reading this bs, I often think. am I supposed to defend my gender? Do I have to represent or defend this? I’m pretty sure women go through similar situations.

Just saying, every single living being is different from one another. They have different upbringings and different environments. So if there’s a creep, a narcissist, or a sociopath around you, that doesn’t mean everyone from that person’s gender, their school, or their race is expected to behave the same way. Because it’s common sense that this community seems to fail to understand.

I think these people need therapy to vent out their own situations, not a Reddit space to generalize their experiences across the whole nation and blame everyone else for their problems.

I’m applying for PhDs these days and have a few interviews coming up in the next weeks. Since it’s a 4–5 year commitment, I want to have as much confidence in my supervisors as they have in me.

What questions should I ask? What early red flags should I look out for?
