Ha, ha, ha. So - if you heard someone say "women are sluts" you wouldn't
get offended, because you would know they just meant some women? Ho, ho, ho.

"Women" and "men" without modifiers (such as "those", "some", "white") means
"(wo)men in general", which may as well be "all (wo)men". If you didn't mean
it that way, you shouldn't have said it that way.

And of course, Eastern culture is much better in this respect. They don't have
wars, or nukes, or rape. Or if they do, they're only because of the influence
of Western culture. Ah, but what about the practice of binding women's feet?
Oh, that didn't start until after Marco Polo's visit. Or maybe some Vikings...
(Do I really need a :-) ? )
