Gender Bashing

There have been a number of threads recently which are basically just people bashing the other gender - 'women do this' and 'men do that'.

In an attempt to stop this a thread was revived about 'Generalities and Stereotypes' and was made a sticky for a few days on the main page - but it has not seemed to have the desired effect.

Gender bashing helps no one. If you have had a problem with an individual man or a woman, then please feel free to post about it and ask advice. But don't paint a picture of all men or all women in derogatory terms because all that does is start flame wars and disrespectful posts - and no one gets the help they need.

There is not one single emotional characteristic that is particular to any gender, they are all HUMAN emotional characteristics.

What about age generalising? I know some people here prefer not to say age because they think their advice or their post will get different answers/responses.

We should all just follow the rule "if you have nothing nice to say dont say it at all" That would pretty much eliminate all these problems.
