Or maybe they have thought about it

If you don't want to patronize businesses that use these tactics, go right ahead. I'm sure plenty do. But the vast majority don't because they don't see it as an issue worth getting worked up about. Some of those who have put some thought into it have rejected the radical feminist "theory" that somehow these images are destroying the fabric of society. You may find such advertising insulting to reason, and you may even be right, but if you want to make an ethical case against it, good luck. Most advertising appeals to emotion at some level, so why should one emotion be exempt?
