No entire group of people is trash. This is the same thinking behind misogyny and racism, and is the exact kind of speech that breeds incels.

One could understand “men are trash” as having the meaning “every single man is trash”, which would be in line with racism as you say. Or one could understand it as “the group overall is trash”, meaning any individual member isn’t necessarily trash. The latter meaning is in some senses a matter of data - men are extremely overrepresented in e.g. violent crimes. Which, again, doesn’t much about the individual man.

If you read that from this meme, you might need to go back to school to learn some literacy a bit more.
