I can deny that, because I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
There are men who I would say are more beautiful than a lot of women. Women aren't more beautiful by default and by virtue of being female. There is no inherent advantage in the female form that suggests that men aren't "as well designed." The male form doesn't have the exact same set of formal qualities as the female form. They can't be judged by the exact same criteria. Therein lies our problem, I think.
