Call it intuition if you need to label it. But having spent most of my life passing as a man, and flying under the radar sometimes (in that people didn't immediately know that I was gay), I just heard a lot more misogyny than homophobia. That's probably just the guys that I know. But it has influenced me.
In my experience, men don't sexualize women to appreciate their beauty, but to demean them. It makes them feel powerful.
