Most people are members of more than just one group.

Soooooo, real humans might be a mite more complicated than that, such that your summary does not usefully cover inferences about people.
I don't see where I assumed that the groups were disjoint. My point was that "Two random men are more alike than a random man and a random woman", while technically true, isn't particularly informative about men and women.
Ah, my mistake. I thought you were saying that given your proposition is (asserted to be true), the idea that two random men are more alike than a random man and woman must be meaningfully true.
