For men it's far worse than a bit of airbrushing - they're supposed to aspire to look like pumped up muscular freaks , with steroid use and ridiculous lengths of time in the gym the only possible way to achieve such a physique. The real question should maybe be why restrict it to focusing on airbrushing and how about having to state whether or not your models had to abuse extremely harmful and illegal drugs to achieve their physique? At least airbrushing doesn't actually damage the actual model's health , nor turn them into some angry violent monster with fertility problems.

Why restrict your campaign to the protection of gullible females? Their male contemporaries are also equally gullible.
