    That guy was suggesting that "all women are fetishistic and homophobic," which is bullshit and an overly broad generalization. Do you honestly think that's a reasonable statement to make? As a counterexample, there are a lot of women on this sub who aren't homophobic or fetishistic...

    Not sure what the user before you said, they deleted their comments and account before I got here.

    People are focusing on the "fetishistic and homophobic women" statement ... maybe it's because you and the other user who deleted their account/comments were the only ones to speak up. I couldn't even formulate a response when I saw it, at least the two of you did, so thank you.

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

    It's interesting to me that no one is thinking twice about "straight females only need to do the bare minimum effort of opening their legs and straight men would be queuing to get a piece of her pussy but yet they decide to chase after men who aren't attracted to them". It's stereotyping men as sex-crazed opportunists, and women as only validated by being fucktoys.

    Imagine if someone came into our sub and said:

    bi males only need to do the bare minimum effort of opening their legs and gay men would be queuing to get a piece of his bussy but yet they decide to chase after women who aren't attracted to 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.

    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.

    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.

    Completely agree.

    That *could* be true.

    Or it could be yet one more new alt account intended to stir up negativity and divisiveness, but when regular real people had answers and opinions, gave up on that new persona since it wasn't getting anywhere.

    I mean, it was a brand new user and you responded in a reasonable way, and then they deleted everything ... even their own account.
