Yeah, you clearly don't get what sexism is all about. It's a part of our society, and how we view females (and more specifically, their bodies). I look at the ladies. I can't help myself. But that's not sexism. Sexism is the portayls of wmoen, mostly in media. We show off their half naked bodies, having them moan as if having sex when they uses that shampoo in the ads, having them stand in awkward positions in a movie/ad/comic/game scen just so they can show of more of their ass and tits for the viewer. THAT'S sexism, and has nothing to do with us being animals and primal behavior.


Bolded implies underlined. Because sex is hardwired in our brain, sex can be used to sell a product among other things. And a male is much more sensible to a visual sexual stimuls than a female. This is not a result of cultural influences, it's our nature.

Did you know that most of the shopping for the household is by mom/the girl? So tell me again how a moaning woman in an ad will help sell a shampoo to another woman? Oh yeah, I forgot! All women must be bisexual... flawed argument. A lot of the sexualized ads are actually aimed towards other women

In most case are aimed toward men, but when they do aim to women it's because it works. Some women want to buy a product that can make easier for them to attract a man. There are ads where males are used the same way. The male/female difference of treatment it's mainly due to the fact the male brain respond easily to this kind of stimulus.
