You seem to be saying no one attracted to women would ever denigrate them? Have you seen straight men before?
I didn't say that. I said they needed to denigrate other women to justify this woman's attractiveness. I didn't say there aren't straight men who aren't assholes about women.
So guys who say stuff like "I prefer natural looking girls, not ones with caked on makeup" or "I'd only date a virgin. I don't want any roast beef" or "no fatties, I only like thin girls" are what? All secretly gay or ace?
ETA: my point is, people do comparisons all the time when talking about how one person is more attractive than another or than most other people (some more mean spirited than others). It often isn't right or cool, but being mean doesn't mean you're not attracted to the person you're contrasting.
