That statement was a part of the problem, as well as bringing RadFems into the conversation for literally no reason. Sound familiar to anyone?

I think the guy I was replying to didn't realize that there is a troll on this sub who keeps making accounts like this, so out of context, they probably thought a ban for a comment was unreasonable. I think that's where the confusion came from.

It's interesting to me that no one is thinking twice about

I did actually think about it and it bothered me, lol. But I wasn't quite sure how to address it, so I just picked a different broad generalization to start with. I grew up hearing a lot of sexist comments like that myself, so I sometimes find it hard to articulate what specifically is logically unreasonable about them when I see them.

Change the sexualities around to one of LGB, and there would be a riot about homophobia/biphobia, and how wrong it is to make such broad, sweeping statements. If it's not OK to generalize LGB like that, it's also not OK to generalize straight people either.

Completely agree.
