Its not provocative. Its silly and absurd. Stating you have visual preferences is like stating you prefer oxygen. This is innate and widely accepted as normal and unremarkable across human society.

Is there an underlying assumption 'women are less visual'? It's seems like a bit of a straw man because no one can and should generalize.

The next bits about 'knowing your place' puts the author in the enlightening company of a cave man teling women to 'know their place'. I wonder how many will be lining up to defend that.

Self proclaiming yourself as 'good looking' is problematic in itself because this is purely subjective beyond a 1% that everyone widely agree on. To then use this self created pedestal to dismiss and reduce others suggests a unnatural degree of narcissism and likely necessitates a large leap from reality.

There is, at least in American culture. It is wrong of course.
