I have no complaint about your definition of bigotry. I wont dispute
your claim to being a male. But thats about all I'll agree to.
As far as my memory goes, she expressed a very low opinion of most of
the members of a certain group. Of course her sample space is not all
that big relatively. But no where did she say that Steven Maurer is an
asshole because he belongs to that group. To me, thats what your
definition of bigotry means. She did not do that. She expressed a dislike
for a certain subject matter. I'm sure we are all guilty of that in one way
or another. Her method of expressing that opinion is another matter entirely.
And if you want to go and assume you belong to that group which
she has a low opinion of, well, thats your choice.
Anyway, she went on to say that she didn't want to go through a
1000 guys to find the one perfect one. Perfection as in her eyes only. 
Where does the quantum leap NOT PERFECT=ASSHOLE come from? I suggest you
don't try to speak for someone else. You may be doing them an injustice.
