To bring it back to humanization/objectification, yes, men often see the “humanized” male icons that females create as derogatory, inaccurate, insulting, and presumptuous. See their common catchphrase: “romance movies are pornography for women”. They can identify false female projections. When they’re in the mood to get on a podium and talk down to someone, they’ll remind women of how ignorant they are.
Humanization, as inaccurate as it is for males, does imply depth, good will, and compassion, so they do not protest a misread when they can capitalize on it. Men want you to think he’s just like a romance novel love interest up until you expect him to act like one. He’ll just string you along for as long as possible.
If men are guilty of excessively objectifying women, women are guilty of excessively humanizing men.
It’s a tragic, ironic inversion.

I wish I could be asshole-ish to get off on objectifying men but I just can't. Even my OCs, despite some of them wearing revealing fits get humanized as people and not sex objects.
