#most bisexuals I know just say biphobia because calling it 'steotypes about bisexuality' 'misogyny specific to bi women' is a mouthful

my problem when I say that I find most discussions on biphobia don't factor sex well isn't even "I don't think this is (as much of) a problem for bisexual men" because when you talk to them it's more often than not easy to trace a parallel experience. I just find odd how often bisexual men and women can be aggresors in discrimination against one another based on/related to sexuality.
I know a lot of bisexual women who have had bisexual men still treat them with assumptions of promiscuity and being "kinky". even more I can think of three guys with a pattern of preying on women who tend to be discarded for stable prestigious relationships because of those hyperseuxual bisexual stereotypes and then behave like domestic parasites on these relationships (and this is impossible to untagle from misogyny) but some of these same bisexual women and many others were disappointing contributors to "you will be left with HIV and dumped for a man" / "no but girl... how does it work being with a man who's been through more dick than you???" when I was dating a bisexual guy. (this in turn is tangled in a homophobia specific to sex between men) and so on and so on. of course any oppressed group can reproduce and enact prejudice that affects them but I'm not certain that's an accurate description of what happens in either direction.
