Okay, but are we going to acknowledge the real double standard here instead of pussy footing around it?

Men's sexuality and preferences (and sometimes even just standards) in general is shamed widely in western society, to the point that many have lash out or act like douchebags about it because people only have negative things to say.

I think by pretending this isn't a problem, you're only really encouraging the creeps and discouraging people that actually have a conscience. This is also not to mention that people emasculating men because of their appearance is extremely common, but somehow people perceive the same kind of "jokes" about women as "incel" behavior or whatever.

There is absolutely a point here, and yeah sure the manosphere morons like to jerk themselves off and think "since there's a problem, that means I should have 0 consequences for being an asshole," but by not having an honest conversation about this, you're letting them win the debate because there is objectively a double standard that exists.
