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.
