How would you read it oh wise one?
Because yes, ‘women are a half head shorter than men’ is a statement, incorrect though it is in this reality? which reads the same as ‘all women ARE a half head shorter than men’.
I wonder how you would translate this sentence instead ‘women are born with vaginas’... would you read that as ‘some women are born without penises’?
Cause if you want to continue on this train, thats the destination you are going to arrive at very shortly.
Get over your ego and get real, mmmkay!
I wonder how you would translate this sentence instead ‘women are born with vaginas’... would you read that as ‘some women are born without penises’?
If we assume that "most" is the default, the statement "most women are born with vaginas", is still correct.
We could say that ALL women are born with vaginas, but both are still correct.
The statement "All women are always half a head shorter", on the other hand, would be incorrect.
which reads the same as ‘all women ARE a half head shorter than men’.
Are you certain that you aren't the exception in interpreting this statement this way? Or that you only pretend you would read this statement like this because you do not want to concede an argument?
Because anyone of reasonable mind would immediately be able to assume that it's a generalization and that it holds true - on average. Every fucking person would. And I think you know that.
I’ve given my reasons. Generalisations are weak, and contribute to unclear communication.
It’s the same as when people use literally, always and never et al incorrectly... it’s part of the dumbing down.
In my opinion, you have the ego problem. Worse, you are defending poor communication, when almost everyone would agree that clear, concise communication is far superior to vague and generalised communication, mmmmmkay?
What I know, is that you seem triggered by this, but that’s not my business!
It's not part of dumbing down, because it has always been the case that most sentences refer to "most" and that "most" is the assumed default.
Even in academic and medical texts.
When you think that not using the correct modifier is dumb or poor communication, then you made yourself guilty of poor communication by stating that all women are born with a vagina, when I could show that some some are born without due to a birth defect.
Poor communication skills on your side.
Also, in rare cases it's possible for a woman to be born without their lower body or vagina.

"Moats was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a condition that affects about 1 in every 4,500 newborn girls, according to the National Institutes of Health. It happens when, during embryonic development, the female reproductive organs (including the uterus, cervix and vagina) do not develop properly. As a result, the uterus and vagina may be underdeveloped or absent entirely, the NIH said."
We can still infer that they are women because of chromosomes, tits etc.
Almost everything is a generalization, because there will always be exceptions
Was more going along the lines of if a dude decides he wants to ‘identify as a woman’, is he then a woman? Not to me!!
I’ll rephrase it - in admiration of your tenacious defence of poorly worded communication lol
“Women have two X chromosomes.”
How can you mangle this to fit your determination that ‘women’ does not refer to a generalisation of ALL women?
Even if you can find one or two sentences that refer to ALL.
Most sentences do not.
As I have proven with some women being, indeed, born without a vagina.
And sidenote, you never said "MOST" women are born with a vagina. You too, made a generalization. Without even realizing it.
Poor communication skills on your side.
