  • I'm not a native english speaker. I'm sorry if my spelling makes my comments difficult to read.

    I think I mostly understood the point by now.

    (I still don't get why the man would be uncomfortable with the alternative hypersexualization, since he already perceives the initial depiction as hypersexualized, but that doesn't seem to be central to the point anyways.)

  • the man in the comic became uncomfortable seeing it

    I don't understand this point. The reason they're uncomfortable with it is because they're drawn in a sexualized manner? But even if all else is true, men in comics are already drawn in a way that many men think is attractive.

    At least that's how I understand the point of the "power fantasy". Or do they mean literal physical strength with the "power fantasy"? Because the sexualization of men is definitely not limited to muscles.

    Assuming the power fantasy is not just about physical strength, but also (or only) about extreme attractiveness (as perceived by men):

    That is an idea that could be true. Are there statistics about how close the typical male hypersexualization is to women's interests compared to how close the typical female hypersexualization is to men's interests?

  • Did I misunderstand the post?

    The point seemed to be that sexualization of men and women is different because not all women like the typical sexualized male man (as per the example given). That being different implies that men do all like the typical sexualized woman. Which is wrong.

    (edit: just realized I did a reverse menandfemales)

  • Women have differing tastes. Men on the other hand all like the same.

    Just like many women don't like extreme muscley figures many men don't like extreme hourglass figures.

    Not all women are the same. Not all men are the same either. Claiming otherwise is sexist in both cases.

  • behavior and culture are founded in material conditions and environment

    What is that even supposed to mean? Like yes, people have always existend in an environment centered around material resources. Food being a material resource, for example.

    But you don't want to think about any of the realities.

    I assume that by "any of the realities" you mean "other perspectives" or "other ideologies" here.

    I do want to think about other perspectives and ideologies.

    But I also allow myself to criticize them.

    I especially allow myself to criticize people who try to prevent others from telling their perspectives, for example by calling them a misanthrope in a demeaning manner.
