I can't tell if you are a troll or sincere, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt (if only because, even if you are a troll, this is an actual argument people really make, so a reply would benefit lurkers).

I think the real value in these is to counter arguments about how it's ok that female characters are half-naked and sexualised in the media because male characters are half-naked and muscular. No, in mainstream media the male characters are muscular as a power fantasy for men, not as something eroticised for women.
And oh, just to head off the inevitable arguments of "Stop looking, women— this is only for gay men, so stop enjoying it, we didn't make it for you!"..... Who gives a fuck? Nobody cares about target audiences. Beefcake is as beefcake does. Art just wants to be enjoyed by loving eyeballs. <3
I can't wait for the American remake that gives Tim Gunn a cameo.
I take issue with the word because (and bear with me here because this is going to sound pretentious and douchey) It buys into the gender binary too much.

This baffles me as well. I guess I'm a kale hipster because I've been eating it (and growing it in my garden) for years and years and, like, it's not that hard to cook? If you can cook spinach, you can cook kale. Tear some up on a plate, drizzle some water over it, put it in the microwave, zap for 2 minutes, dress…
I love kale. I love broccoli. I don't see why we have to set up this competition between the two. Stop green on green crime!
That's a non-annoying, cute ad. I like steamed kale, served with baked or boiled potatoes and a squirt of soy sauce. Simple yet so tasty and comforting. Also this kale, hummus & cilantro sandwich with lemon slices is amazing: http://engine2diet.com/recipe/kale-le…
I cant be the only person, who loves her veggies. I eat it and i drink it.
The Beets! KILLER TOFU!
Borscht is awesome. That is all.
That's Issa Rae! (aka Awkward Black Girl)
I'm married. Daily spending of $102? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Somewhere Yoko Ono is checking out all of these butt photos and feeling satisfied with herself having been all butt focused over 40 years ago.
