>The perception that female photos look fake is still sexism
Except it's not. Stock photos of good looking women are routinely used in marketing to attract users. It's proven by stats from A/B testing.

Okay, I'm being glib, but this idea that thinking of a plausible causation with no further critical analysis means it's "not sexism" is kind of exasperating.
I'm only saying a person using good looking woman as an avatar because of a/b testing does not make him sexist.
Whether they make a decision based on internal biases caused by societal norms, or make a decision by measuring those societal norms directly and responding to them, the decision is still an expression of societal sexism.
They're photos, though. They're real. Not "fake"
