"A definition of sexism : "behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex"" That's just plain silly. So anything that suggests any gender in a person is sexism? Good luck with that. "Is there a stereotype that women are the toy/reward for a man doing a good job?" Women liking a man in general is something men want, likewise vice versa men liking a women is something women want. Therefore both things are being used in advertising. If an ad is targeted at men it will often show women liking the man, if an ad is tarted at women it will show men liking a woman. Do you believe there have never been any ads showing how a man falls for a woman? Do you believe it is sexist to assume men like being liked by women and vice versa? Do you believe in general wanting to impress the opposite sex is negligible as a motivational factor in people wanting to do a good job? Women in print media are necessarily objects - they are blots of ink printed on a 2d page. The "women as objects" discussion also needs to be questioned. What does it even mean? Men shouldn't be allowed to be attracted to the female physique? Before having sex, they should require women to pass an IQ test and recite the names of all American presidents? Funny enough the other day there was a post about a guy complaining about guys hooting for Marie Curie. Unless he thinks they were into her grey hair, apparently being attracted to brains also is not OK. I suppose wanting sex in general is not OK because it objectifies people. "In fact I don't think the average guy knows squat about where we are in this cultural evolution" I believe you don't really understand what is going on. You and the feminists are actually fighting to rob women of their privileges. Good job! (Hint: children)
