How so? I'm wondering if I would agree with you if you expanded on that.

I'm not really invested in the argument I referred to; I just thought it seemed relevant. I do think that there often seems to be a disconnect between what people think women are attracted to in men and what a lot of women say they are actually attracted to. Of course there's also a discrepancy with what men supposedly find attractive in women.

Well, I feel like it's basically towing the old "women aren't visual" line. It's erasing the fact that women do get turned on by visual cues and do enjoy the sight of a sexy, naked man (well, heterosexual and bisexual women, anyway).

True, that is annoying.

Not all women, and not all women should be expected to be. :(

ayrt

You're right. You're absolutely right. But women also shouldn't all be expected to be non-visual, and we often are. Additionally, the idea that women are all non-visual is used to perpetuate a lot of harmful stereotypes and standards. For example, purity culture uses that idea that men are visual and women aren't to a) shame women for being "immodest" and b) eliminate/curtail women's sexual expression.
