I think you should consider looking into Erasto scenes logic. What is it, and I realize how hard it is, the three logical operators are all, some and none, with the contrapositive not all as the fourth logical operator. I'm getting the impression that you have an "all men" problem, but you'd want to solve that, right? Can it be distributed over the square? Can you form a statement in terms of the same problem by explain what it is that none of all men do, and then set up the proportion about the terms? The some do this, and there's an associated, not all do that. Because it might really just be that there's only one man you have a problem with, but he knows all the rest of the men you know, and they all have some relationships the one of each to each of the others. Just find the original slanderer and try to get a case into court, and his followers will likely scatter, just given what a male dominance hierarchy is like.
