    The point of the comment is to point out the common misconception that the value of one [token of a currency] has anything to do with the strength of a currency. As described in the comment, the value of a singular token of a currency can be chosen arbitrarily.

    This, of course, doesn’t mean the map is factually incorrect.

    I’m not a native english speaker. I’m sorry if my spelling makes my comments difficult to read.

    I think I mostly understood the point by now.

    (I still don’t get why the man would be uncomfortable with the alternative hypersexualization, since he already perceives the initial depiction as hypersexualized, but that doesn’t seem to be central to the point anyways.)

    the man in the comic became uncomfortable seeing it

    I don’t understand this point. The reason they’re uncomfortable with it is because they’re drawn in a sexualized manner? But even if all else is true, men in comics are already drawn in a way that many men think is attractive.

    At least that’s how I understand the point of the “power fantasy”. Or do they mean literal physical strength with the “power fantasy”? Because the sexualization of men is definitely not limited to muscles.

    Assuming the power fantasy is not just about physical strength, but also (or only) about extreme attractiveness (as perceived by men):

    That is an idea that could be true. Are there statistics about how close the typical male hypersexualization is to women’s interests compared to how close the typical female hypersexualization is to men’s interests?

    Did I misunderstand the post?

    The point seemed to be that sexualization of men and women is different because not all women like the typical sexualized male man (as per the example given). That being different implies that men do all like the typical sexualized woman. Which is wrong.

    (edit: just realized I did a reverse menandfemales)
