heterophobia, does it exist?

Splitting hairs.
I'll never forget an Anita Sarkeesian video where she gets down on guys who sing romantic songs to women. Her gripe with the music was something along the lines of that it was "creepy" when it wasn't anything other than just romantic music. Unbelievable. When the same exact lyrics were reversed and it was a woman singing to a man, then it was bad because it means a woman loves a man
implying that women should be independent.
Then there are the people who complain about men who politely say hello and give compliments to women, calling it harassment or sexism. It's like these people don't want the human race to reproduce. -

I would only call it heterophobia if they're attacking straight people, regardless of gender. They're attacking men, so it's not really the same thing.

Correction. They're attacking heterosexual men. And if heterosexual men are attacked, heterosexual women are affected. So yes it qualifies.
Heterosexual women are attacked too. Kaley Cuoco for example was heavily criticized when she said she likes being a housewife for her husband. Granted the criticism wasn't about heterosexuality specifically, it was more about her being old fashioned, but it's close enough.
I'm not saying that heterosexuals are some kind of oppressed minority. Straight people don't face discrimination anything close to what gay people experience. It's not the same thing at all. So forgive me if it seems I'm saying it's comparable. I'm only saying that it exists in a measurable form. -

I'm still not sure I'd call this flat out heterophobia so much as I would call it a case of angry feminazis being angry at everyone and everything. The tumblr feminist generation is a bizarre and abrasive one. Discussing societal norms and gender constructs can be done without blatantly disregarding or disrespecting women who are very happy choosing to be a mum and wife. If a woman is supposedly allowed to do whatever she wants in life, that should be an option as well, and not frowned upon.

No, there is a difference.
So I wouldn't say it's splitting hairs.
Claiming that heterophobia exists is really a stretch when you consider everyone grows up surrounded by heterosexual behavior and images. -

Maybe we're talking about different things?
For heterophobia to exist, it literally only takes one person with a prejudice against heterosexuals.
It sounds like you're talking about institutionalized heterophobia. We can agree there that there is no such thing to my knowledge. -

No, what an absurd concept. Heterosexuals dominate and oppress. They run society. There is no systematic oppression of heterosexuals by homosexuals.
There may be some gay people who dislike heterosexuals. But since we all had heterosexual mothers and fathers and relatives and friends whom we may very well adore, few of us have a complete disdain for heterosexuality.
So yeah, there may be some bigotry against heterosexuals in some cases. But it does not rise to the level of a phobia.

Its more about "heteronormalcy" and what is the constructed norm in society.
Heteros like to think of themselves as a superior sexuality, yet they are the ones doing all the breeding and creating a myriad of different individuals from all walks of life and then labelling and tagging the ones they see as ruined. This then goes into the realm of "heterosexism".
All just a fallacy. The homo will always be superior.

I do appreciate you guys not breeding and you should all get medals and recognition for it.
And no, I am not joking.
Those of us, of any sexual orientation, deserve our Non-Father's and Non-Mother's Day for not adding to the goddamn human population. -

I commented to someone in person the other day, when a discussion was brought up about the human population and how it is bursting at the seams and is largely responsible for many of the environmental issues on the planet, that my hands are clean and I haven't added to it.
