Anime exaggerates their facial and bodily features to be unrealistic and inaccurate.

In advertisements, particularly those promoting beauty, for instance soap bar companies, script their ads in such a way that it->

depict mothers using those soap bars to magically appear younger, while neglecting to mention any benefits on a father's skin or anybody else who uses it

(similarly another ad), showcases how a woman civil engineering, gets constant appreciation from co-workers for her glowing skin, despite the dusty enviornment she works in.

the same pattern follows in every advertisement, inspite of the functionality of the product being gender neutral,

which unfairly reduces their value to how their skin & body structure should appear, even in situations where such attributes are irrelevant.

"Anime exaggerates their bodies to be unrealistic and inaccurate."

Anime is supposed go be fictional, basically, no different than male characters being presented in a "hyper muscular" fashion(with DragonBall Z and Tokyo Ghoul serving as a potent examples).

"In advertisements, particularly those promoting beauty, for instance soap bar companies, script their ads in such a way that it->

depict mothers using those soap bars to magically appear younger, while neglecting to mention any benefits on a father's skin or anybody else who uses it (similarly another ad), showcases how a woman civil engineering, gets constant appreciation from co-workers for her glowing skin, despite the dusty enviornment she works in."

Beauty advertisements are supposed to be about physical appearance first and foremost, what are you even talking about here?

Besides, have you even looked at all of those "Nivea For Men" advertisements?

Have you looked at all of these perfume advertisements depicting "high status" men, focusing primarily on their choice of attire and muscular physiques(Giorgio Armani and Dolce Cabana advertisements come to mind)?

"the same pattern follows in every advertisement, inspite of the functionality of the product being gender neutral,"

False, for the reasons I highlighted above.

"which unfairly reduces their value to how their skin & body structure should appear, even in situations where such attributes are irrelevant."

It does not in the slightest, unless you are a Puritan somehow believing sexually explicit depictions in popular culture are somehow "sinful".

yes that's true,

and those examples on men would counter a survey, that says the media does not portray men in an "unrealistic" and "inaccurate" manner.

so any media other than the actual content of nat geo wild / animal planet etc, is mostly setting up unrealistic standards

□ □ □ □ □

Also, the frequency and volume of advertising that bombards the commercial breaks on a daily basis, featuring women, is way greater than the ones featuring men,

If advertisements featuring women were the entire car, those depicting men would be the orange turn signal, flashing occasionally

so the messages they are trying to reinforce featuring a man lacks a significant impact.

□ □ □ □ □

(In my location, I rarely encounter 1 or 2 ads which are men centric in a day, while the majority are centered around women since the past 5 years, and is only escalating,

it appears like those skits are pushing a message on how everybody should be, than the product itself

and I'm personally getting fed up & exhausted watching them)
