The whole Oedipal idea is that boys want to marry their mothers and kill their fathers. If that’s because the mother is the first person they bond with, and that applies to girls too, then why doesn’t the Oedipal complex apply to women also?

FYI, C.G. Jung proposed the equivalent for girls : the Electra complex.

It would also raise the question: if women become attracted to other women because of their bond with the mother, then why would they ever become attracted to men at all?

Good question.
My guess : even if they would be, let's say, first homoromantic, then a mix of genetic programming (?) and social conditioning (wedding, babies, etc.) could change it. Plus puberty, hormones...

BTW, about the second statement ("Men are straight and women are bisexual."), a friend of mine explain me a few years ago that, according to a French feminist author (I can't remember her name), that would be natural because :
- children are "in love" with their mother (first),
- consequently, the boys would generally become attracted by females (gynophilic), so "straight",
- and the girls would be first attracted by females (gynophile), so "lesbian", and in a second time would become attracted by males too (androphile), so "bisexual" (gynophile + androphile)...

It made sense to me (maybe just because it matched my prejudices).

People tend to assume everyoene is like them, and I think this feminist is simply projecting her own Lived Experience (TM) on other women. Looking at her relationship with her father would probably explain a lot.
I'm sure there are many women that do agree with her, and looking at their lives would reveal that they have similar experiences.

So... her saying this reveals to us a lot about her, but not necessarily anything about other women.
