After church this morning I had to run by the grocery store and I passed by the book area and like a lot of grocery stores they had a good chunk dedicated to those trashy romance novels. Those have started to annoy me in the past few years due to how we have to hear the nonsense of "the male gaze" or "appealing to a male standard of beauty". Interesting how in any media marketed to women that the men are in great shape or how women can say that they have no interest in comic books but they want to see Superman because they think Cavill is hot. That is fine, but then it is ok for me to enjoy an attractive woman on the screen. After hitting puberty I've been guilty of seeing some bad movies simply because one of the leads was a hot woman and while I am somewhat ashamed to admit it, when I was in the Air Force I bought every Fiona Apple cd because I thought she was amazingly hot.
If a show like SNL had any guts they could do a skit where they are at a comic con panel where some rabid blue haired feminists are whining about the male gaze and someone just puts a bunch of those romance novels on the table in front of them.
Like I said, it is a blatant double standard but I don't see it going away anytime soon.
Just have Cavill as the host and all the blue haired women swoon if he so much as flexes a little.
Honestly quite a few of the blue hairs don't like Cavill. When pushed they say "He's too conventionally attractive, I don't trust it", which given how much they blindly trust other Hollywood weirdos I usually put down less to healthy skepticism and more to "he makes me aware of my own inadequacy and hasn't done any feminist bootlicking to soothe my ego"
That's what they say. I guarantee they would let him pee on their faces if given the chance.
This.
Never listen to what woman say, especially when they tell you what they want. Their actions almost always betray their words.
How much you want to bet that if THEY were actually given a chance with Cavill they would drop their pants faster than E=MC ^2
Then Cavill busts into his "Let me tell you about Warhammer 40k" speech and whatever desire she felt melts like snow under a hot sun...
I doubt she's listening to anything he says.
I'm straight as an arrow but I'd have to be blind to not think that dude is hot. He's like every single attractive male trait rolled into one man. A chiseled jawline, a physique Apollo would envy, loads of cash, talent, and a member of the PC master race.
I can't even imagine the floods that must occur whenever a woman gets within a couple yards of him.
And some women get upset that a guy does the same with hot women
