I've traveled a good bit of the world, and lived in a number of non-American countries (including some where sexuality is more...upfront), and hyper-sexualized imagery of women, and the attendant problems, are hardly a uniquely American phenomenon.

It might be comforting to believe it to be so, but it's not. Hell, one of the most problematic comic covers I can think of in the most recent past wasn't even by an American artist.
