>Gross generalization. Clearly not true.
Not a gross generalization, just a generalization. How many women have you had as a boss?
>2. Men often don't think of women as human.
Note the word "often" which means that this is not a generalization, but an uncontroversial observation.
>your support for this is that a long time ago women couldn't vote, therefore often men don't think of women as human?
No, that's just a reminder that this was the mainstream point of view probably within the lifetime of a women you know. I'm not going to make an argument that men often don't think of women as human like themselves. I would if I were asserting this to a Martian, but not anyone who has lived in any modern society.
>Laughably histrionic. Is that like the war on Christmas?
Are you telling me that I think that women are constantly under attack by men because my uterus has become unmoored?
