yeah but she gave a whole speech on her feeling of being "criticized" before she made that quote. so you have to include that into her statement.
usually when we hear the word criticize .. we associate the word with finding faults only.
1) dude what are you talking about. The generalized statement could stand on its own with or without the earlier parts, again, that is the beauty or rather, the ugliness in this case, of generalization. It is able to stand on its own because it does not directly refer back to her.
2) Then i would conclude that you are part of the millions that are mistaken when they use the word. By assuming that the negative connotation was what she meant, it means that you are not only misusing a word, but also excluding out the part that you do not want. Either use the word correctly do not use it at all, especially when it is in a statement such as the one i quoted.
