exactly, men are assaulted by just as much social-pressure advertising and media as women are, but we don't get overly sensitive about it, likely because we are men and we just tend to not get overly sensitive about anything except politics, guns, cars, tools, guitars, and assorted other man things.
In the same way that putting a sexy woman on screen or on an ad is sure to garner lots of male attention, putting a hunky guy is sure to attract lots of female attention. It's pretty simple really. Sex sells, regardless of gender. Sure I don't know what it's like to be a woman who is told by the media what I should look like. But I do know what it's like to be a man who is told by the media what I should look like. And that's kinda the same thing.
