Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I’ve only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

Imo the article writers probably feel that they are decrying the way people are demeaning her, but it’s just adding visibility for the judgemental.

It’s a double edged sword. Everybody’s got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive
