Female hormonal birth control is in widespread use today. Studies show that women, when on birth control, are attracted to men more feminine than the men they prefer when not on birth control. This phenomenon misled the blackpill community to believe that a preference for feminine-looking men is the natural biological female gaze when it is not. The notion that what’s attractive to the female gaze is significantly different from what men think is attractive, is a product of birth control use, not natural biology.
Does it seem plausible that natural selection made us evolve to be oblivious about what the opposite sex finds physically attractive? No. It seems logical that there’s an evolutionary advantage in males being able to discern which members of the male competition are the most physically desirable. We, men, evolved so that what we think is attractive to women indeed is what’s attractive to women.
In a nutshell: Men aren’t supposed to not know what women find attractive. The fact that many men don’t is an unnatural occurrence.
The impact of birth control use is the reason why the gazes are misaligned in the modern era. Without birth control, the female gaze is closer to the male gaze than to what the female gaze is today.
