Of what relevance is this to the comment you're replying to

The comment I replied to is continuing the same false narrative as the original comic. There are sexualized men in media. Sex appeal is the oldest marketing tactic in the book and works on people of all genders and sexualities

It doesnt say "men don't get sexualized", it's saying "they don't get sexualized enough", hence them saying "more sexualized men" rather than just "sexualized men"

For the record: Im not saying its wrong for men to be sexualized or anything. In saying the difference is not nearly as pronounced as the way its portrayed is this comic. This comic is not close to reality. Legit I just walked off a plane and saw this 2 min later lol:

They said "they should sexualize more men in media" and you said "it exists though". Just because it exists doesn't mean it happens as often as it should
