I'm a artist and a comedian... I agree with much of your analysis. But in France, sexism is as hard to define as it has totaly evolved and changed since 1968, since then women has tending to act more "menly" in their private life and guys (meaning young men especially) are so in a metrosexual fashion androgyne attitude... But it is also true that the situation in "cités" (big blocks surbubs) is way far from Paris or Lyon and that the year later of this ad, in 2003 was created a big feminist (non-political) party :<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni_Putes_Ni_Soumises" rel="nofollow"> Ni putes ni soumises. (Neither whores nor submitted).</a> The response of the lack of politics in terms of cultural integration vs. raising of communitarianisms and "laissez-faire" of un-lawed places. To note that the founder of this mouvment is now in charge of sensitive neighborhoods for the gouvernment. This ad receive advertising awards here in France, and has not been received as sexist, in my humble opinion. At those time, a porno chic wave also came with magazines (Vogue for exemple) (and this ad) and series like Sex in the City and it has been seen has a amusing ad because we were (and we are still) overcrowded with terrible and boring ads in our streets.
