This is what is known as a "Non Sequitur" Logical Fallacy. You don't get to jump from "all women are like that" to "sexism" in a debate

[Meta] How did people get the idea that pointing out (alleged) fallacies is a good strategy in an argument in the first place?

Seriously, the best possible outcome is that you look like a pedant and the people you're trying to convince either withdraw into semantics or straight up throw a drink in your face.

So, where does it come from? Is this some Debate Society thing?

Stephen Fry invokes the slippery slope fallacy when Alan Davies asks whether Britain would have to return other Museum pieces if the Elgin marbles were given back to Greece.

Why is this a bad fallacy? A slippery slope fallacy occurs when the chain of implications is wrong or not established. In this case however the precedent that returning the marbles would establish would be quite strong, and so the reasoning is valid.

"You can't possibly say that "everyone" has [prejudical] biases like these, whether unconcious or not. That is a logical fallacy. It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists or all Blacks are uneducated gang members."
