It's absolutely nothing like that. I'm not even sure where to start on breaking down how wrong that comparison is.

To attempt to mirror your example, it's actually like an Army general sitting in HQ saying "Well, I've only ever seen our guys get shot at once!" when his units are being decimated on the battlefield.

(Please don't read into that comparison. I am not actually attempting to compare women to battle-ready soldiers and men to lazy generals)

I get what you're trying to say now. My point is, if the OP has only seen it happen once, then they've only seen it once. You're denying that they've only observed it one time. That's what I have a problem with, not your sentiment.

You're trying to say, "just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen," right?
