A lady sparked debate online after saying that a woman could develop feelings for a stranger who fixed her car and forget the man who bought it. While the statement itself was controversial, one user’s response made it worse: “Especially those under 23 years old girls. They can fall in love with 50 men in a day.” This sweeping generalization unfairly stereotypes young women as fickle and incapable of loyalty. Not only is it disrespectful, but it also fuels harmful narratives about women and relationships. Criticism or debate should focus on ideas, not on degrading entire groups with careless remarks.
