"The problem is that (class of people that encompasses billions of unrelated individuals worldwide) start (any kind of negative action in particular)"
No matter what you fill those variables with, it remains a broad, harmful generalization. I'm sorry you had to work with unprofessional assholes that won't take 'no' for an answer, but your experience is not license to slander literally half of the planet.

You've broadened the original statement to say more than was commented. The original did not say "all men" or even "only men". Quite the disingenuous interpretation turned around to try to make up a controversy.
If you're against the broadening the reading of claims, do you think that Garcia Martinez should be reinstated at Apple? For reference, he was fired over claims of sexism, because in a book he published before being hired, he wrote something along the lines of "Bay area women are weak, Eastern European women are strong"
On the other hand, parents comment is also true.
I'm a man btw.
Work events are work :P just a different kind of work
I don't want to burn the accumulated good will from the workplace by being an asshat one evening.
I do have a policy of not sleeping with anyone from work so that helped me have good boundaries and avoided trouble..
