Advertising not sexist. Really.

Well I'd be interested to hear rational arguments that it is...

I've always found advertising to be highly sexualised, but refreshingly free of sexism.

You're kidding, right? Advertising is so jam-loaded with sexism, it's hard to know where to start. Just about every advert plays on stereotypes. When's the last time you saw a guy cleaning kitchens in TV ads? Or a woman buying cars? Yes, there are exceptions but they're pretty thin on the ground.
