Women showing their kids new tech, truly disgusting.

I was actually surprised there were only two photos of "pinup" type girls... and then shortly later, a photo of a naked dude! And then a businesswoman "walking into the light" carrying a PC! I guess I was expecting much worse.

We are afraid of heterosexual family units and the female body now.

Yes, there are those exceptions. In most cases the woman is shown as someone whose only function is to take care of the kids while the man is the one with the job to take care of the family; the first picture shows exactly that.

The photo of the naked dude is not exploiting his appearance. The photo of the business woman may be interpreted as something like "even a woman can carry it."
