Not just men, straight men. Straight men fill mainstream culture with the male bodies that they want to imagine themselves as having, not loving, while alternative forms of beauty are marginalized, because men may be sexy but to a straight men no man must be allowed to be seen as fuckable, because it is the man's role to gently caress, not be hosed. Images of male bodies targeted at women and gay men tend to be far more diverse (even though most of them are equally idealized, they are idealized in many different ways) but they are excluded from the mainstream because straight men think everything belongs to them and that if their supremacy is challenged they'll all catch the gay or something.
