Am I wrong for thinking article titles like this are demeaning? (lemm.ee)

Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I've only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

It's clickbait. The fact that the clickbait is demeaning is incidental. They're maximizing whatever sensational clickbait title they can get. At least their heart isn't intentionally evil, just incidentally evil.
