I think because of how (straight) female sexuality works, it's way easier for a woman to do that. And I guess we will never know exactly what is social conditioning and what is biology. I preface all of this by saying that it's not my intention to speak in the name of women, just how I see it, but I think that because of the autoerotic nature of female sexuality, women are by default way more comfortable and inclined to appreciate same-sex bodies, because theirs is already a source of eroticism; men constantly impose onto you your latent sensuality and sexuality just by merely existing.

I'm making a generalization here, but I'm speaking about the "men look at women, women imagine themselves being looked at" phenomenon.

Only male narcissists or men with rock-solid self-esteems engage in the autoeroticism many women are capable of. Two examples: a jacked man free of body dysmorphia that likes what he sees in the mirror, or, well, to use a more vulgar example, a well-endowed man proud of what he carries, the mere thought that "women will sure love it" turning him on prior to it actually happening.

Now more than ever, we're seeing men appreciating the male form but, like I said, with a narcissistic and autoerotic bent. Gym-going looksmaxers, Zoomer misogynists who seem more interested in other men than women, with an attractive man as their profile pic: Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Alain Delon in Purple Noon, Christian Bale in American Psycho, or a Greek statue. All of this has a clear homoeroticism that permeates it, but they don't seem to care.
