"AWALT" was never meant to be some catch-all meaning all women are clones. It was meant to be a simple way to short circuit the brains of men who create narratives about women before ever getting to know them. A man thinks a girl is special, hopes to ask her out, equivocates, meanwhile she got rammed last night by the dude who escalated. Or, he thinks she's a princess but her fantasies are secretly filthy. Etc.
Yeah, I do get that, but AWALT is a poor expression for it, more often than not it's used to convey bitterness and pessimism rather than being constructive.
I think it's far more useful to point out exactly what's bad, how to identify it and what to do about it. These blanket statements will only leave the clueless guy just as clueless as he was before, he hasn't gained any appliable knowledge. Only that all women are like X, so what is he to do? With time it colors his views, without coming even one step closer to truly understanding women, he's now another parrot in the masses saying women he doesn't know are all like X.
I was very strict with logic in my previous post, I know that, but these generalizations and exaggerations extend beyond this one example. It's problematic because it just ends in circle jerks of guys who have essentially given up and for some godforsaken reason has to share their pessimism with everyone. It's just too much.
