> If I say "the ones I have encountered" then is it ok to say men are selfish *ssholes?
You do have to be really careful, please. I cringe at the stereotypes, myself. I am not like that, and I do hurt from it. Even in this example, the target group, i.e. the men you have encountered, is set off from your stereotyped comment, and I felt the stereotype as negative emotion. Just to rephrase what you said, I can live with, "The men I have encountered are selfish *ssholes." Just the way you phrased your question makes a difference to me.
