Not sure I've seen a "Victoria's Secret billboard" but if it's
selling
womans lingerie, then of course in context it should be OK.
Imagine if the default wallpaper was Justin Bieber in a weird
sexist pose, (In our eyes.) but girls croon and salivate all over
it. I don't know about you but I'd be thinking WTF, and deleting it from
my HDD.
This is a deep and
serious subject! Best just to avoid the argument by not bringing
sexualized images in unless you are purposefully making something
I think you mean sexist, instead of "sexualized"
