On the other hand, women’s media is also full of that stuff. Maybe not Schwarzenegger style extreme bodybuilding, but look at a women’s magazine or the covers of romantic fiction books made for women. Both men and women in these types of media are overly fit and overly sexualized too.
I don’t think it’s specifically a gendered thing that there are people who like to look at that kind of stuff and people who reject it.

Thanks for giving my point a thought.
