Of course the sight of a woman would not always instill lust in a man no more thanthe sight of a man would produce fear or loathing in women. Women are certainly capable of being lustful just as men can be scared.

Sterotyping so interferes with a making a good assessment on any person I suspect (and I am not saying that is your intention in any way here Yorkshire Yankee).

A typical example would be for us all to describe what the word "countryside" conjurs up in our thinking. There would be many many similarities in so many descriptions, but it's the subtle differences to each individual that makes the description unique. No-one can ever say how anyone else sees the countryside, interprets, feels about it, or will react with it. Hence we can say things that stereotype what the majority would mean by "countryside" but can never be sure exactly what they mean unless we communicate with them. The stereotype alone is seldom sufficient to make a value judgement on anything or anyone and, very often, in human interactions leads more to wrong conclusions than solid reference.

I'm rambling again. I'll shush! lol
