Which is why the term
shoujo-ai exists, so as to help better differentiate/identify this kind of products from the "usual ecchi shounen stuff", etc.
Because, sadly, the "yuri" term is too broad, too vague... Unless you purposely narrow its field of application down to its original core meaning only:

Note the bolded parts.
In short, stuff like the pic I posted above. Which was 99.9% made with a male-audience in mind.
(That's not to say women can't enjoy it, but...)

Well... Porn isn't just for men either, is it?
I mean, there's plenty of women who watch/enjoy regular porn too. Does that fact alone make 'porn' as a whole a
woman's thing? Don't think so.
