A lot of women’s clothing advertisement is geared toward the male gaze. It’s incredibly obnoxious. I don’t want to be reminded of foot fetishists when I’m shopping for socks.
We might just be seeing the effect of advertisers realizing it’s not only men who go to BoingBoing.
I got tired of having my ads and recommendations on every other site dominated by stereotypical guy stuff from BoingBoing being the main website I browse from outside of incognito mode so I switched to using BoingBoing in a different web browser.
I finally got Youtube in my BoingBoing dedicated browser to suggest awesome music after BoingBoing videos instead of annoying political crap. 
(None of this is BoingBoing’s fault. It’s just one of the irritating problems with marketing + misogynistic culture. I found out on accident one of the quickest ways to get rid of irritating ad campaigns that follow you around is to go search anything you’d rather see instead … on overstock.com. I don’t know what kind of deal they have with the ad networks but it must be a doozy.)
