That article made me sad. Reminded me of a male ex of mine who got freaked out when I was snogging with a rather cute butch woman, who I went on to date.
Male ex said, "But -I- don't find anything about her attractive, bla bla bla..." And I remember thinking, that's fine, darling. Noone was askig -you- whether -you- thought my potential girlfriend was attractive to you. She's my potential girlfriend, not yours.
It was bizarre - like his measures of attractiveness were supposed to dictate my choice of girlfriends. Very odd boundary creep there.
I'm sorry people write such obnoxious sexist trash. -That- is what's ugly.
