To what extent do you think it's okay to generalise men until it becomes misandry?

So, I understand and I think it's okay to use some generalisations about men when you want to raise a topic and just don't want to use perfect wording, like- men are more violent, more egoistic, who do men have to do this or that... etc but then there are times when generalisation itself is too unreal and not fair like - men are potential R***st, why do men want to R****, why do men want to f***children ( Yes, someone said it on reddit).

Creepy "Love's baby soft" ads from 1970s

Edit: What's the worst thing is that ad was created by a company whose Founder and CEO was a woman.

The ad was created by WRG (Mary Wells, Richard Rich,Stewart Greene). Love's Baby Soft is a fragrance brand launched in 1974 by Menley & James, primarily known for its powdery scent and highly controversial advertising campaigns in the mid-1970s.

Missing person by Patrick Modiano:

Basically protagonist who is a detective with amnesia, attempts to reconstruct who he once was, but each clue leads not to certainty but to further ambiguity, suggesting that the self is less an objective truth waiting to be discovered and more a narrative assembled from incomplete memories and the perceptions of others, so that the search for identity becomes indistinguishable from the act of inventing it, ultimately implying that what we call “self” may be nothing more than a fragile continuity imposed on absence, shaped as much by forgetting as by remembering.

It's called Shami in our city - Ayodhya. It's beautiful and it doesn't have flowers. Some people think it is auspicious and drives away Shani Dosha (A kind of astrological trouble) but we don't.
