When will advertising campaigns STOP treating us men like we're sex-obsessed Neanderthals?

-While I was composing a question on here earlier there was this advert at the side of the screen for Lynx deoderant which had these clips of some random Page 3 "stunner" licking her fingers, jogging on a treadmill and playing with her hair with the tagline "What makes YOU prematurely perspire?" It irritated me because presumably the people behind the ad campaign brainstormed on what they could do to most effectively sell their product to males and came up with clips of a woman making seductive gestures. All this ad campaign did was cause me to create a mental note NOT to buy this company's product. Not all of us men are neanderthals at the mercy of our penis.



I looked on the Lynx site for who I could complain to (no doubt some people are bristling at the mention of complaining) and found no contact e-mail so that irritated me even further.



Just wanted to vent here at the thought of some moron in an office thinking I'd be drooling at clips of a woman playing with her hair and will immediately run out and buy the product because its been advertised by a female. I'm not your typical beer-swilling soccer-watching cretin so don't treat me like one!
