The #NotAllMen meme originated in response to men derailing empowering discussions about sexism or problematic behaviors carried out by some men. But the argument can sometimes be used to dismiss genuine concerns about overgeneralizations or sweeping attacks on men. How can we distinguish between legitimate uses of the "not all men" label, and ones that actually fuel antagonism between men and women or feminists and anti-feminists? What are better ways to respond both to derailing, and to over-generalizations or overzealous use of the #NotAllMen meme?
