Oh jeez. Generalizations are actually useful. We don't ALWAYS have to include a disclaimer on everything. I've been in a lot of critique groups, I have children, and there are definitely preferences in certain demographics. While there are some people that have very eclectic reading tastes, there are also trends.
For example, romance serials are read primarily by women. That's a generalization. It's also true. Are there exceptions? Sure. But it's generally true. Thus the term, "generalization".
My point was, considering your target audience is wise when considering what level of exposition or descriptive detail you include in prose.
