I was disappointed to see an advertisement in the Oct. 9 issue (CMAJ 2007;177:858) that explicitly objectifies a woman's body. The multiple choice option below the picture seems to suggest that men who fail to objectify a woman in such a way are suffering from low testosterone. I'm sure you will agree that respect for all genders is not pathologic.
I enjoy reading CMAJ, and I understand the necessity of pharmaceutical advertising revenue. However, in future, I hope CMAJ will consider the message of advertisements included in the print journal.
