PSA#5: No, actually, lumping all the fujos together is fine, and here's why
I fully understand that not every single fujo is engaging in problematic behavior. That's statistically impossible. I can fully acknowledge that there is a minority that is perfectly fine.
However, *all* of you think you're part of that minority. Every single one of you thinks you're "one of the good ones", even though most of you couldn't be any further from it. When y'all say "not all fujos" or "stop generalizing", what you fail to understand is that by explicitly saying "the good ones are fine" or however you want to put it, *all of you* will then assume what is being said isn't being directed at you, and will just brush it off and ignore it, when in reality for most of you it absolutely is. Having to constantly try to cover your ass by making sure not to "lump you in with the bad ones" means that the message will get through to no one.
Instead of pissing yourself over being "generalized" and "lumped in with the rest", maybe take a minute or two and think about what's being said. Think about how it pertains to your own actions and mindsets, and then decide if what's being said needs to be directed at you or not. And if it doesn't then move along. But in all honestly, you probably *do* need to hear what's being said, and you probably *do* engage in or sit idly by and allow the unchallenged continuation of what's being called out, whether you realize it or not, because most of the problem people don't even realize they're part of the problem in the first place.

But due to cultural values these women would refuse to identify as lesbian, and would instead use male-male homoerotica to express these desires (2012). This is support......
