I’m kidding, but it's important to remember why we sometimes make generalizations as a society. Not all bees will sting you, but still we’re scared of bees. We don’t say, “only some bees will sting you”  because that’s a given — it’s redundant. In that same way, no one really means all men are trash. Not all men are the same as Mr. Big.

Dear Abby: I feel like my boyfriend doesn’t love me anymore, or at least he doesn’t love being around me. We’ve been together for some time now, and he treats me totally differently than when we first met. We don’t even go on dates anymore. What is going on?
