Around when did the idea that you can’t have an attractive woman in artwork or entertainment come about? Is the “male gaze” nonsense something fairly new? I remember seeing the “your just mad because you can’t jack off to it” not too long ago on gaming forums if someone pointed out that they seem to make women to look like men.
Yet I’ve heard plenty of women gushing over the Witcher because of Cavill or women who loved Mamoa in GOT and Aquaman. But if I say I’m going to see this movie because the lead actress is hot I’m sexist. Also, it’s interesting how stuff like romance novels have men with rippling muscles but women have to look “realistic”
It’s something women wanted since at least second wave feminism, they just have full power now and have implemented it.
The core idea is: Anything that a man finds pleasurable that does not directly benefit women is evil and bad and shall be destroyed.
Women become the final authority of when you as a man shall experience pleasure or happiness, and you shall not unless she benefits directly.
