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.

My instinct would be to click just to find out what exactly is “too sexy” for chauvinists. Same logic applies to the original post’s article I guess.

I think these articles exploit this instinct. And I’m pretty sure it works for all kinds of people. When you put an opinion piece in some other people’s mouth, everyone will want to find out if the opinion makes sense to them or if it’s completely outrageous.

“Some people said this about this subject, come judge by yourself (and prove them wrong/right)”
