Sexual interest in women

There is enormous social power and manhood attached in the act of showing a "sexual interest in girls", and all men learn that from childhood. Its one major factor that forces them the maximum pressure in their heterosexualization process.

So, men know that to get that power, one must talk about girls and continuously prove one's sexual interest in women. It's an enormous pressure that men have, that gets multiplied severalfolds in a heterosexualized society.

Simultaneously, men also learn that there is immense disempowerment and stigma attached with not having a sexual interest in women, and this adds to the mechanism to force them into being heterosexualized.

So, if a girl is passing, a man will watch her, even if he doesn't really have an interest in her, and if a man who the man finds attractive pass by, the man will try to ignore him, by going all out to pretend that he doesn't even exist for him.

And, if you're in a room full of attractive young men, with even an unattractive girl, straight men will automatically look at that one odd girl, because looking at attractive guys is so disempowering.
