Entertainment literature, which some call genre fiction, when made for women is just a bottomless pit of extremely self-indulgent and infantilized retarded shit of a caliber that would make OP's paragraph seem passable. The hissy-fits they throw over this are just typical female neuroticism. They're reminded that men are constantly, at every second measuring them for the qualities they don't possess. Pudgy and mediocre and readers of fan-fiction, smelly femcels seethe that men live for the idealization of Stacies, and bemoan it through the socially acceptable vessel of "muh sexualization bad".

They pose superiority as if they are above the influence of such basal self-indulgences, but in reality they do them just as much if not worse in their harlequin romances and gaylord YA fiction, but can't cope with self-indulgence existing for others.

Remember this funny thing about women: Women are retards in general, but interestingly, the uglier and less socially apt, the more retarded a woman is.

Because they never read Flaubert

>“But the flames did die down, perhaps from lack, perhaps from excess of fuel. Little by little, love was quenched by absence, and longing smothered by routine; and that fiery glow which tinged her pale sky scarlet grew more clouded, then gradually faded away. Her benumbed consciousness even led her to mistake aversion toward her husband for desire for her loved, the searing touch of hatred for the rekindling of love; but, as the storm still raged on and her passion burnt itself to ashes, no help came and no sun rose, the darkness of night closed in on every side, and she was left to drift in a bitter icy void.
So the bad days of Tostes began again. She believed herself much more unhappy, now, because she had experienced sorrow, and knew for certain that it would ever end.”

>His name was Jayroman Scythe. His massive frame stood at 6'5 with rippling broze muscles and glacially blue eyes that seemed to penetrate her deeper than any dildo ever could. He was a brute, and he was an angel. She knew that Jayroman wasn't merely a football captain jock (though he was in fact), that there was a tender soul locked behind his square jaw and flowing, silken dark hair. Jayroman loved to read Virginia Woolf, knew his way around postmodern feminist poetry, he was into macrame, he often visited gay bars, and once after intense lovemaking confided to her that he killed his own father, who was a republican, for cussing at a black man.

Women who read books are usually fat. When fat women see a hot woman, or read about one, or are reminded in any way that hot women exist, they immediately start seething and coping.

Also, women separate romantic and sexual relationships from other kinds of relationships with men. If a woman wants to have sex with you, that means she doesn't respect you as a friend, a teacher, a coworker, or whatever -- and vice versa. The concept of "the friendzone" gets a lot of attention but it's only one aspect of a larger truth about women. They have all kinds of "zones". This is important because it explains why women get mad about being "sexualized". They are projecting the fact that if they see a man sexually, it also means they don't respect him in any other way. They don't realize that men want to fuck all of their friends and coworkers all the time, or can't accept it, because they don't understand how the male brain works.
