But women are not a good judge of men who don't act like this and men who do.
I recall a thread on reddit a while back(I know, I know) that was basically a woman asking men - 'How do ya'll just KNOW?' It was in reference to seeing women get with men who would be bad for them, all the men in their life saying as such, the woman pish-poshing them, only to have said men be proved right.
Men know men, and can judge accordingly. Women don't know men, and can't. Up until a certain point in society, it was fair and sensible for women to rely on the men in their life(Or barring that, older women who had seen enough and experienced enough) to make that judgment call or atleast seriously consider said advice, and take their licks when they turned out to be wrong.
Nowadays, however, strong whaman don't need no men in their lives. So they contort and flip themselves into all sorts of mental pretzels to try and figure out a way of vetting men by themselves when said judgment call used to be outsourced to men who knew better.
So women devolve all the way down to 'ALL men act like this' - or, if you want to be brutal, all men she picks are like that. Or my favorite one, 'I have to treat all men like rapists, you just don't know'.
Hence why I point out that this is more on women than men.
To make the implication that men know men and are such a better judge of character is laughable. There are countless examples of men making the wrong assertions of another man's character.
Tell me, have you seriously never thought a man to be decent only to learn he wasn't? Are you going to say that you always know a good man from a bad one?
If you're honest, and say no, not always, then you can see here where the judgement can fail. You're human, you have faults. Women are human, they have faults. You take the time to notice the failures and try and make that be the end all be all, when you conveniently ignore the countless success stories of women finding good men early on.

Hmm...saying "all x act like x" is devolving huh? I would agree with this. So why would you turn around and say "all women act like x"? Is that not also devolving?
Unfortunately when it comes to applying knowledge you're very very rarely dealing with generalities. If I'm having a conversation with you applying generalities to your behavior is stupid, because you are your own person, and you're not responsible for general behavior.
General behavior, as it is, is often skewed from bias. I can find 100 examples of this or that and deem it to be general behavior, when the reality has thousands of examples that disprove it that I choose to ignore. It doesn't make it so.
No, they don't all act like that.

I'm arguing from generalities. You're just nitpicking at the margins.
