That's a very helpful list of "tips"! No one has ever thought of those before! Convenient that you're ignoring all the things that discourage people from doing them. I'm not saying putting a list on a bathroom door is the answer, but simply telling people who have been assaulted to do x, y, and z without addressing…
It doesn't generalize "all men" to use the name of the demographic about which you speak. "Not all men" aims to distract from the issues and support a stance of not listening. It can also be a false claim of reverse sexism. The men who do this had no intention of listening and if you change the language to placate…
That's ok. If comedy is keeping you away then I'm pretty sure we don't want you.

BUT YOU ARE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!
As a man, let me just put a word in for ridiculing the entire male gender: we can take it, especially if it's funny. Hard to get hurt feelings when you're basically playing life on Easy Mode.
Oh my god, I had to shut my office door because I am laughing so hard at these comments* I am both crying and snorting.
It's not funny. It's stupid and shit like this is fairly high in the list of reasons why i won't identify as feminist.
It'snot [all] really funny atall.. lol
The comments on this post make me want to bake everyone cookies and give out free hugs to you guys. (important note: I *hate* hugs.)
Oh for fuck's sake. Lighten up, Francis.
not always what I look like
You get out of here with your logic, man. Rationally explaining why saying "Not All _________" to the people doing it never produces the desired result. See also: every single race-related item on GT.
NOT ALL MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS.
Not all anyones!
