Don't be obtuse. It's pretty clear what type of men she's talking about from the get go. If the article is guilty of anything it's generalising somewhat, but that's a minor concern.

Otherwise, it's on point. Notions of female purity are a load of horseshit.

You are confusing two things: (1) whether notions of purity, body image etc are "horseshit" and (2) whether she is guilty of double standards or not. She clearly is guilty of double standards because she denies men to express their own opinions about what they value in a woman, while at the same time she feels entitled to bloviate about what she values in men (e.g. not being interested in virginity).

In this context it is irrelevant whether "[I] know the men she is talking about" or not.
