And hetero/bihet men and women have been this way since at least the beginning of written history. So it's not overly-broad.

I think it's safe to say that many men and women throughout history have been fetishistic and homophobic at various points in their lives; in that sense, I agree with what you're saying. But like I said about the quote above: to imply that women, generally speaking, are "fetishistic and homophobic" by nature and/or unavoidably so, or to imply that all women have these traits, is an overly broad generalization according to the definition I provided. It's a pretty big claim that requires some big evidence, and I haven't seen any yet on this thread.

I think we're at a standstill here. Have a good one.

You added the "by nature" part. The cause of this phenomenon was not mentioned, and though it's hardly relevant, the reason why is a combination of biological and sociological factors. Fetishism aside, if you do not agree that the majority of hetero/bihet men and women are at least homophobic, then I suppose we live in two different worlds.

I've been dismissed lmaoooo
