You never hear women described as creepy for saying "he's cute" or something similar.

Men's looks are brought up far less often to begin with. (By either gender.)

Yesterday I was reading a highly caustic anti-BoingBoing screed. Everything about the male writer was idealogical. Almost everything about the female writer was about her looks.

This is where somebody on HN might ask for "citation please." In this case, I think that would be a bit disingenuous.

On the other hand, you usually don't see a majority of comments on male presenters saying "he's cute".

Not that I disagree with you. But HN is not sufficiently female dominated for such a thing to conceivably happen :)

That's because it's not creepy when girls do it. Creepy in this sense is used for unwanted attention from "unworthy" males, the female equivalent of this behaviour would usually at most be described as annoying.
