I'm a guy and I'm really guilty of this. Best example would be hyperbole and a half- my first thought was "wow this is hilarious" and next I thought "what does she look like?" and looked up a picture.
I have no idea how I'm supposed to repress this impulse though. It doesn't feel inherently wrong or disrespectful. I guess it is once I judged her by her looks, but I do that for men too when I first see a picture. But it would never occur to me to look up a picture of a male blogger.
