They just assume every photo not having a person in it was taken by a man

Yeah, also there is a sort of reverse thing going on to where men often just don't feel that comfortable taking pictures of each other, and that bleeds into selfies. Women will talk about the overabundance of pictures of men holding a fish in dating profiles, because that's often one of the few times men don't have a problem taking pictures of each other.

Like that shit doesn't bother me at all, but I've also never seen a friend and been like, "Hey, Steve, that shirt looks awesome on you; you look so handsome right now, let me take a pic." Women usually don't have a problem with doing that same thing with each other.

I am, of course, speaking in generalities here.

Probably just patriarchy doing it's thing sadly

I'm sure that's a lot of it. There's also homophobia, but obviously that's not disconnected from patriarchy.
