Yeah, this doesn’t surprise me at all. They actually forgot something. Not only are women sexualised almost constantly but queerness is fetishized by heteros. It’s seen as “socially acceptable” for women to be gay if doing so for the approval of men (ie. party lesbians)
It needs a bit of clarification: only good/passable looking girls get free “gay” pass. Old, ugly (or both) les women aren’t perceived as “socially acceptable” either.
I guess it’s because we’re hardwired to respond on every level to subjectively aesthetically pleasing, evocative images.
