Note the typical syntax of a sentence such as „i don’t think he would find me attractive” [..] The passive construction „he would find me attractive” is governed by the conventions of the subject-in-discourse, the subject whose appearance is governed and interpreted by the discourse of femininity. She is to be found to be attractive. He is agent; he finds her to be attractive. Even being attractive does not appear as originating with her.
