Who Says Men Can't Have Preferences?

I’ve seen a lot of posts lately where men claim women have an issue with them having preferences, and I think it’s time to address this misconception. Let me make this crystal clear: women don’t have a problem with men having preferences. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, and that’s completely fine. The issue lies in how some men express those preferences.

Here’s the thing: when women state their preferences (e.g., preferring taller men or guys with a certain personality), we’re not out here berating or degrading men who don’t fit the bill. We don’t create derogatory slogans like “no height, no light” or “no abs, no chance.” We don’t slut-shame men who don’t meet our preferences.

Unfortunately, the same can’t always be said the other way around. Some men, while voicing their preferences, feel the need to degrade women who don’t fit them. For example:

Calling women who aren’t virgins “used goods” or chanting things like “no seal, no deal,” which is not only deeply objectifying but also incredibly disrespectful. And yeah, some indian men's obsession with using r-word for such women is so ICONIC. /s

Slut-shaming women for their choices while simultaneously saying they prefer “pure” partners.

Using abusive or degrading language to dismiss women who don’t fit their ideals.

This isn’t about preferences; it’s about disrespect. Women aren’t upset because men have standards—we’re upset because some men weaponize those standards to demean others.

Edit: Both gender faces bodyshaming. My post is solely based on slvtshaming and using degrotory remarks for women who don’t fit the preferences of some men. Rest is whatever you think.

Edit 2: Changed post flair for the most obvious reason.
