Perfect opportunity to share one of my favorite blog memes:

Seriously though, it doesn't seem that controversial to say that
mainstream advertising heavily skews to female nudity. Next time you
pass a magazine stand, count the number of covers with female nudity and
male nudity. I'll bet you a wiki-beer it's greater than 2 to 1. Judging
by the last time I was in Paris, I would guess 10 to 1.

I tend to agree with Heather...this strains credibility. It's hard
to know whether to take this statement seriously.
Seriously? I mean, I don't want to derail this discussion further, but
as someone who responds fairly equally to nudey boys and girls both
are very visibly in use in advertising.
Although; Alison raises a point about stereotypes that I didn't really
think about :) as the discussion was about the relative numbers of
nudey genders... in terms of playing on /stereotypes/, sure, it can be
sexist to men and women.
