Over time, due to increasing alienation under capitalism, more men are seeing women as these inaccessible alien beings that they desperately want so they can prove to the world/themselves how manly they are, but can never have for one reason or another.

So to them, femboys are the next best thing because they're feminine like women, but are men, so therefore more "accessible".

    I think within the context of patriarchy femboys are considered the ultimate submissive sex object because they are men who CHOOSE to be feminine and by extention of patriarchal logic submissive whereas women are born into that role and are understood to, at least to some extent, be forced into that role by their gender, so there submissiveness is not "guaranteed", but, by fruther patriarchal logic of women as temptresses and tricksters (adam and eve etc.) seemingly submisive behaviour is seen as a potential trick of the temptress.

    Of course, I think it's entirely possible to be attracted to femboys as such, but I think a lot of attraction among men who insist on heterosexuality and especially those that display traits of toxic masculinity is probably a bit pathological.
