The second misconception comes from calling subjects politics, when it's somebody else's life. How did we all take part in it, even if you reject the notion? That's a typical where to begin question... People outside the widely known heterosexual norm did not sprung up overnight, they have always existed. Just to be clear, being something on it's own isn't that big a virtue, so it's not about Mr. or Mrs. X belonged to this group, while (s)he invented/introduced that famous thing. It's about not neglecting that we are not the only ones contributing.
Yes, the original musing was where the whole thing started, and it definitely wasn't a violent act. Kama Sutra has but categorized things already in existence, and yet from a lot we don't hear about. That's because of a dual sin of both dispatching the ones doing it and for erasing them from history. As for having changed... not everywhere. 27 states still refuse to disallow marriages to children as young as 12 if they get pregnant, in a country that's supposedly leads everyone else in separating from church.
I'm a warm blooded man, so yes, I do have a thing for erotic competition between women, which puts me in a minority. About 15 years ago on a different site a guy said that even in today's world a mayor of a major city can openly admit of being gay, but fans of such fights will not likely to come out as it would lead to universal condemnation. I don't have a switch, I don't pretend just because I'm a straight guy I'm like the rest of them in every aspect. In fact, people preceding us have been hunted by the feds for simply reading smut, a sentiment only changed due to expanding civil rights. Irving Klaw destroyed a lot of his material before that, finally giving up. You might personally not like it, but we have way more in common with fellow fetishists than with fellow straight guys, so at the bare minimum, we should act as a member of the community.
A nonviolent confrontation like a sexfight isn't just serviceable to be part of an experiment, rather to know one's own body. It wasn't until the 1990s that the first bra was produced that provided comfort for women, and it continues to be a phenomenon that even women themselves are unaware of the correct cup size and what influences it due to lack of organized education on the matter. As a kid, I liked the books of a Wild West author, but it wasn't until I became an adult that I learned translations have omitted quite a bit about German supremacy and Native submissiveness (thereby totally changing the message). Similarly, authors like Burroughs, Doyle and Kipling wrote fantasy about yet to be explored regions, not because everything was discovered, rather because all lacked the willingness to explore other people around them, a grave sin in my eyes for an author. Women compare each other mentally, at times verbally, rarely on the physical plane. If and when they do, it's even rarer that sex organs play a significant role, so unless they're not bi or lesbians, there's good reason (mostly money) for doing so, and it's a motivation worth exploring, and definitely not just from our view, as that was the only we've known for a long time. They're as people as we're, so they deserve to be as authentic a character as well.

I don't share that view. Sexuality for women, outside wartime, has not been much of an act of pleasure before the freedom of contraceptives and the derivative choices coming from the sexual revolution. So much in fact, that when the first department store catalogues came around, the first electric thing advertised was a motorized vibrator, predating fridges by a decade.
There's a difference between fighting another person and bringing sensitive body parts into the mix, especially considering how both genders where only taught sex is for procreation, and where the eggplant emoji goes. Breasts being the weapon (mostly as foreplay) is more likely to be around since lesbians and bisexual women exist, but as confrontational ones... probably not with the first two women, even if they did not know what cancer or breast cancer was, they still did know that lacerations, lesions to sensitive areas lead to internal bleeding and highly likely, death, at a time before antibiotics, or any other disinfectant.
Plus the ongoing debate is way more about the importance of inclusion (treating tit- and sexfighters as humans and not just pleasure bots for our amusement) than about correctly pinpointing something known mostly from apocryphal sources.
