I used to see a lot of... let's say, feminism-critical stuff that implied that if men stopped being Masculine (dominant, rough, tough, maybe a little abusive, etc.) they wouldn't be appealing to women anymore.

The implication was that feminist women wanted men and women to be equal, but were actually kind of messing up romance and eroticism, because you can only have that if there's a feminine woman and a masculine man and defined gender roles. Sometimes they used it to put down feminist ideas (like women might THINK they want equality but they'd actually all be happier as submissive housewives to dominant men because that's HOT) and some people seemed to think it wasn't necessarily incompatible with feminism because a woman could be a girl boss at work and then come home and submit to her husband.

Obviously very heteronormative, but some people would point to certain gay subcultures like butch/femme culture to support it. Two women can be together, but only if one is masc and one is femme. Otherwise, it's not sexy.

Maybe it's less popular now, but I saw it a lot reading gender discourse stuff from the 90s and early 2000s.
