This Anti-Men Anthem From 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Will Leave You Laughing

Rebecca Bunch is back, and she brought the anthem the internet needs right now along with her. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's "Let's Generalize About Men" isn't just perfect for the situation Rebecca finds herself in at the beginning of Season 3 — trying to plot revenge against Josh for leaving her at the altar — it also captures the current mood of plenty of people in the real world. Men aren't actually the worst, but as Rebecca and her best girlfriends sing, "Let's conflate all the guys, let's generalize about men!"

The song has taken the Twitter world by storm. It seems Rebecca, Paula, Valencia, and Heather's ode to the time-honored tradition of getting drunk with your friends and complaining about the opposite sex resonated with viewers. And why shouldn't it? The song is clearly satire, so there's no need to break out any "not all men" hashtags. It's not a song about how all men suck, but it is a song about how broken hearts and frustrations with the man in your life can lead to an evening of comparing stories of male awfulness with your best friends. (Come on, men of the world, you know you do it too.)

One of the highlights comes when Rebecca asks, "Hey what about gay men?" And the ladies praise the awesomeness of gay men, poking fun at the gay best friend stereotype in the process. "So let's focus for now on straight men," the women sing after establishing that gay men are all "adorable and fun."

Everything, from the sentiment to the amazing '80s pop power anthem style, hints at a less enlightened version of feminism that was embraced by pop culture during the era of big hair and shoulder pads. Feminism has evolved quite a bit since then, but just like it was for the many women who came before, drinking and complaining about men is a ritual that you've probably partaken in at least once. That's one of the reasons why "Let's Generalize About Men" has made the Twitter-sphere so happy — it's hilarious and so real it hurts.

And given just how relatable it is, the internet is so here for it.
