I'm not justifying it all, just pointing out this is part of wider social trends. I'm think I'm out of this discussion, too polarising, likely to cause shouting.
[Edit] The point I was trying to make that using pretty women to promote and sell things is prevalent throughout Western society and likely an inveitable result of living in a patriarchal, capitalist society, and for things to change requires a more fundamental shift in social attitudes and practises.
