What society do you live in where women chase attractive men around in packs and people consider it "acceptable" ?

Another example:

40 year-old woman admitting her Justin Bieber-fueled masturbatory fantasies: perfectly fine!

40 year-old man admitting his Miley Cyrus-fueled masturbatory fantasies: Ew you fucking perv!

You really misunderstand social dynamics.

There are girls out there who are surrounded by men in their circle of friends who all want to fuck them. Likewise, there are men who are fawned after by groups of women around them.

The reason for the common portrayal of "women chasing after men" is because men being desired by groups of women is considered a success by other men. It's the man we all want to be, if not literally then we atleast want to know that we are attractive to groups of women. Men are seen as the initiators and aggressors, so being attractive enough to draw the attention and pursuit of many women is a great feat.

The portrayal of women being chased after by men being negative stems from the fact that it is quite common for groups of men to dote on a single women, especially if she is the only one around/in a circle of friends. Women who are disinterested or already taken have to deal with the affectations and attempted seduction or charm from men that they consider friends.

The type of female who enjoys and lavishes this attention is typically one who also enjoys controlling and manipulating men, so rather than having the men chase her they would instead be portrayed as carrying her bags, opening doors for her and accommodating her every need and whim.

It's a difference of social dynamics between genders, which will exist regardless of whatever social movements or cries about social constructs and LGBT bullshit. It's not a double standard against men like you seem to believe. We're just different, and what is a desirable situation for one of us is not always desirable for the other. I'm sure there are exceptions in individuals of course, there's bound to be men who hate the idea of being pursued and women who love it. But when talking about gender and culture we have to turn a blind eye to individualism and focus on trends and commonalities.
