17. There are quite a few unattractive actresses as well
So what. Men are judged on looks as well, whether it applies to their profession or not.

I agree we do live in a patriarchal society. But rather than tilting at windmills and trying to stop men from being fixated on sex, why don't we focus our energies on doing away with discrimination. Attacking men for their sexuality is not going to help anyone or accomplish anything good. It's like preaching abstinence only sex ed programs.

We are hard wired to want sex. Short of medication that's not going away. Most of it has nothing to do with "power". It's just sex. Matter of fact, most of the guys I know prefer aggressive intelligent beautiful woment to meek stupid beautiful women. Are they sexist for wanting to have sex with hot powerful women? Would they be sexist for wanting to have sex with a meek beautiful woman? Would it be sexist for a woman to want to have sex with a meek beautiful man?
