Absurd. Making generalizations for members in a group is core to being a human, for better or worse.

There are some things you _shouldn't_ apply this to, e.g. harmful stereotypes, but it's not unreasonable to assume that men _tend_ to enjoy sports, or that women are more likely than men to purchase beauty products.

Ah, but Jerred, I am not human.

Let us not get confused.

> core to being a human, for better or worse

That is not a free pass.

> not accurate to make generalizations

Making generalizations (description - when correct - of average, median, "mode"/type) is "accurate" by definition for the population, and incredibly stupid to describe individuals.

From notes:

  Accuracy: correct results
  Sensitivity: identified positives (True Positive Rate)
  Specificity: identified negatives (True Negative Rate)
  Precision: correct positive results (Positive Predictive Value)
  Miss Rate: correct negative results (False Negative Rate)
  False Discovery Rate: incorrect positive results
  False Omission rate: incorrect negative results

What you described is the fact that generalizations can be useful for survival, not that they are accurate.
