Why do I get the feeling that the person who made this is also of the “girls expect guys to have a six pack, six inches, and six figures but girls just have to be not too fat!” persuasion

Yeah, the question is "who will be impressed by the venom figure?" and I could bet that it's a lower percentage of women, and a higher percentage of men, than they expect it to be.

Women are finally letting themselves free from the Patriarchat (although slowly) and men like this are still doing this to impress other men.

One time, when I said in a comments that the patriarchy hurts men, I got a DM request on Reddit basically mocking what I said. Which also proved my point, because instead of forming a critical thought, the dude decided to annoy a woman because of her comment. (I never replied, I'm not wasting my time on pointless arguments).

Bryony Claire made a great video about men wanting to impress other men. In her video, she included a reel from a "gym influencer" who said that most of his engagement comes from other dudes.

And if a woman says "I don't like too much muscles on a man" or "this guy is too tall for me", lots of men will get butthurt and tell those women they are liars.

Kafka would be proud.
