    The generalization here is that all men have an idea of what all women deserve, as if all men judge women based on their gender

      That’s an interpretation I didn’t see at all, and I don’t believe is supported by the wording of the statement. Being aware of a group and deciding how that group ought to be treated does not mean they will be treated differently for being members of that group.

      I still think you’re applying a bias here, and the statement is designed to expose those biases because it really isn’t saying anything at all. Aside from the not changing part, which as I said I disagree with.

        “There is not a single men on earth that thinks he mistreats women”

        • implies that no men can recognize his own wrong doings towards women (yes, you can mistreat someone and be aware of the fact that it was wrong)
        • assigning this negative attribute (lack of awareness) to a gender group

        “Every man dishes out exactly what he thinks women deserve”

        • implies that all men have an internal view that they apply to all women
