Bi men here, progressive women are not like that. Only "progressive" (read: plays lip service to some popular cause, until it's popular, often are TERFs etc.) do that, and you just need to skip on them, for more than one reason. I almost dated one, she turned out to be a "progressive" anti-abortionist, because "babies are people too", and "you can just use contraception".

Let's not "no true scotsman" this, that only leads to madness.

It's definitely a thing but i doubt it's progressive women who are perpetuating it.

Women will leave him? I'm surprised to hear this.

In my experience, gay men are much more poly-curious than straight women. So "bi" can easily be clocked as "cheating" from a certain perspective.

And there's definitely a lingering existential "what if my man's gay and he leaves me for another dude?" dread that I've seen more than one straight woman grapple with, particularly if the guy they're with is pushing 2+ on the Kinsey scale.

Tag in the Reddit-style "Dump him, he's not good for you!" social media vibe, and you'll get women who end a relationship because they would rather do the breaking-up than be on the receiving end.

I used to have a gay man cut my hair (back when I used to have hair lol). Casey would talk very loudly about his sexual activities and it was always amusing to see the looks the other (female) hairdressers in the shop gave him. One time he was telling me about fucking an old woman, saying "sure, I'll stick my dick in whatever, why not?" This was especially amusing because it was right before prom night and the place was filled with high school girls getting their hair elaborately coiffed while their fading-flower mothers hovered nearby with shocked looks on their faces. This was in Louisiana, which is surprisingly a lot more tolerant of homosexuality than you might think (at least in some parts) - he was fired that day, which was a common occurrence for him. I think he worked out of five different salons during the time he cut my hair.
