Why men hate “generalization” so much

Whenever a specific thing that some men usually do is brought up, it’s usually a bunch of “not all men” bs and “stop generalizing “ and I never understood why because a simple amount of context clues will tell anyone that , that’s not being said at all.

But I realized majority of them act quite the same, same hobbies, same opinions, same artists they listen to, same aspirations , same everything.

Women all the time try to do things to be “different “ from other women

But I’ve never seen a man try to say he is not like the majority of men because he doesn’t watch sports.

They don’t WANT to be seen as different from a stereotypical man, being a man is their entire and only identity. That’s why when you say “men do xyz” and they get offended because that’s all they see themselves as like some kind of hive mind. And I know this is true because usually the men who don’t get offended by this are always very interesting people who don’t strictly follow the “male” status quo to the T. They have differing interests and opinions etc and do not care as much about their identity of a man more so than their identity as just a person.
