So in my comment I was only trying to say that the comment you responded to seemed to point to something true about the preferences of women in general vs. the preferences of women who are “highly educated urban professional-managerial class liberals in the developed world”.
Such perspectives seem easy to miss for people (in general/of all genders, not just women) belonging to the elite U.S./U.S.-adjacent progressive class—a class that has disproportionate influence over other cultures, societies etc., which makes it seem worthwhile to discuss in spaces where many belong to this class.
About your other point, I guess I don’t have much of an opinion on it (yet), but my initial impression is that it seems like openness comes in degrees. Compared to other movements, I also rarely observe ‘EA’ openly declaring itself hostile to something (e.g. “fraud is unacceptable” but there aren’t really statements on socialism, conservatism, religions, culture...).
