Honestly, I don't think he's ever really hidden it. I noticed from the start, but I grew up reading Epic Comics and Heavy Metal, so I'm a bit inured to that form of art. I just believe it's important that there be a barrier to whom gets exposed to adult comics. And, arguably, maybe not to nearly the same extremes, nor with the same amount of systemic regularity, but there's a good amount of objectification of the male form as well. Much of the reason I started lifting weights heavily in college and beyond was because I consumed toxic images of what popular culture broadcasted as the perfect male form. To the point that I developed a body dysmorphia that persists to this day. I'm Gen X, so that was then, but these concepts, even for men, have only worsened as we've progressed/regressed. But, yes, your point isn't missed, this has been something women have suffered through on so many levels for generations before it started becoming the norm for men as well.
