How do you know that? What makes you say that? Does it even matter why they're put into movies?

As far as I understand it the image posted does not claim that these bodies are put into movies for women. Personally I would argue that unrealistic bodies are put there for both genders, but perhaps more so for the opposite sex. However, looking at the posted image neutrally and without reading anything into it that's not there, to the main idea behind the image is to point out the fact that not not only women but also men are depicted unrealistically more often than not. Or at the very least statistically above average.

Some women might lust over this, but that's not why they are put there. They are the male power fantasy and are added for the benefit of the guys that watch it.

There's a reason most straight women find Loki more attractive than Thor and I've seen guys completely blindsided by that because they see everything through the male gaze.

You're not right. What's the proof behind most women finding loki more attractive? Typical terminally online take, so predictable.

As a woman who has mostly straight friends.... I don't know a single other woman that finds Hemsworth more attractive than Hiddleston. And most women I know would also say Andy Samberg is very attractive. I don't know many men who would admit that Samberg is attractive.

Almost universally bodies in media are designed to appeal to men first and women second. There are exceptions, yes, but they are just exceptions.

Those men haven't watched Popstar.

Tell me you've never talked to a woman without telling me you've never talked to a woman...
