    I am not disagreeing with the article but I think the better description would be:

    “Young men (12-24 is used by the author) would like more positive attention. They see the attention young women receive via sexualisation as positive but are unaware of the many downsides it brings.”

      I think the article paints a very nuanced picture of this.
