Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': pd.Series([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]],  dtype=pd.ArrowDtype(pa.list_(pa.int16())))})

df.a.str.len()

Issue Description

The above code aborts with the error: AttributeError: Can only use .str accessor with string values!

Expected Behavior

As per the description of str.len(), it should accept list-like dtypes to compute the length of each cell. If I use non-pyarrow backed lists, it works fine.
