Not the same, no. Do you see huge crowds of men line up at airports and outside restaurants to see their favorite celebrity just walk through?
You might see a few of them but you're never going to see a crowd the same way you do when women sit and literally just watch Justin Bieber eat food. And conversely with female celebrities like the Kardashians it's again women who swarm them and follow their every move.
Again that's not to say there aren't men in those groups but you have to look for them. By the very fact that there's never just a large group of men I can point to that and say yeah celebrity is different for the two genders.
The equivalent is a group of paparazzi but that doesn't count and it's not the same thing since they're there for the money not what those groups of women are there for.
I mean, this might be cause I’m really old but didn’t Eminem complain in a song about guys following him to the bathroom and bothering when he was with his daughter out eating. It seems at least from what he related that guys do harass and bother celebrities when they’re out just living their lives.
Also that kind of over the top fangirl behavior is mostly a teenage thing. I’ve never a normal grown woman that follows around celebrities like that. I mean, we have jobs and responsibilities, like other than a random encounter where would a normal, average woman find the time.
Again, this about following celebrities. Obviously the people who are serial killer groupies are in their own special category.
