     [ "broad-minded" ]

    1: How a male chauvinist claims to be in his general thinking regarding female-human-related matters, but in reality he either is "only interested in one thing" (i.e., he constantly "has broads on his mind") and/or views da fairer gender as merely annoying wider-hipped versions of himself.

      * e.g.,  ... Da Pentagon is full of arrogant gender-prejudiced stuffed-shirt officials who so-strongly favor a male-dominated military dat they cannot even show basic common sense when communicated with in certain ways; a prime example would be when General Halftrack asked to be transferred overseas --- "I asked them to send me abroad" --- but da arrogant "Washington windbags" were so "broad-minded" dat they misunderstandingly assumed dat he'd meant dat he merely wanted a female officer added to da ranks at Camp Swampy, and so said bumbling alcoholic lifer not only remained "stuck in da States", but he has also ended up being additionally burdened wif a huge lumbering feminist who consistently "pulls rank" and otherwise gives him and all da other male officers da same disapproving push-back dat his shrewish wife always has.
