There, I fixed it. Y'all were right. It just appeared to me that a generalization that was directly involving a certain persons spouse could be construed as personal. My bad.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

I can't help but feel like you're using different standards here for something that affects you personally. Take a different article:

----------------------
A couple of years ago, I was eating out when I heard a conversation at the next table. What I heard - a couple who said they had been happily married for a while now; nothing unremarkable about that.

But I also heard his wife say she was from town X, and had been married for 17 years. And I remembered then that, statistically speaking, the average marriage in the US lasted only 7 years, and that, statisically speaking, women from town X cheat on their husbands 60% of the time.*

And rather than think anything negative about people like her, I wanted to give her a high-five! She beat the odds, and they're still together - she's managed to not cheat on her husband and destroy their marriage.

That's the problem with all these liberals. They think people like us hate women. But we love to see people like her overcome their disadvantages and succeed against the odds! Anyone who claims we're 'prejudiced' because of that doesn't know what they're talking about.
--------------------------

* - replace town X with any town you want; 60% is the national average.

Seem any different when it's about you?

Back at ya turtle, I agree.

My opinion is that it wasn't much of a generalization if it specifically is aimed at one person/person's family. I wouldn't even talk about my spouse's family...too touchy for most people.
