Whenever a societal group is being talked about as a whole, we talk about the majority of it, and not each individual. When women are ranting about men ruining their lives, they are talking about the sexist, oppressive world and not ranting about a particular person. Men, when being referred to as such, is in a connotation of patriarchal men; men because of whom women cannot go for a stroll alone at night. Notice how I used ‘we’ and ‘alone’ there in the same sentence? Because women, doesn’t matter how many, are always alone without a male presence; that’s internalized patriarchy
