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.
It's actually kind of perfect ragebait, because you'll both get a bunch of people going "OMG!!! She's beautiful! How dare you, you monster πππ" AND people going "She should be hotter, what a bitch!" with a single headline.
Then there are guys like me who are likeβ¦ βI want to see this mini dress!β
And a bunch of people saying βOMG, itβs Florence Pugh β¦.. and sheβs even fitter !!!!!!!β
(I assume, but not taking the bait)
