Don't be shy to call out sexism when you see it.
Just to clarify, "men watch women"= media is created for the male gaze, regardless of individual taste, and "women watch men watching women"= women internalize the male gaze and adapt to it. Seen by dressing a certain way "because men like it", or in this uncomfortable case, male reassurance is sought that there isn't really an attraction (although I know that isn't exaclty MC's intention).
