Leaning towards 8, but some genres of anime/manga do have some bad aspects in the portrayal of men.

TV, or at least the commercials.

Anime/Manga, definitely.

behaviorally, I would say what the two people above me did (TV commercials or Anime/Manga)

but, since I voted comics for the women poll solely on the physical portrayal, I almost feel like I have to say comics here as well. Because I mean as long as we're going with the ridiculous posturing women do in comics for maximum sexy points, you have things like this that feel the need to show you a dude's muscles regardless of whether it makes sense or not:
although, in this case I think people care less about that anyway, so it's not really a big deal, so TV commercials / Anime/Manga are probly better choices... but I can't choose which one :x

Spoiler: Glorious Master Liefield's interpretation of Captain America

Ya, but for male characters it's used as a self image fantasy, and not a standard. Or more bluntly: hot women are for men, and hot men are for men. Also, how dare you show a Liefield's picture in public, that's just disgusting.

of course, but my point was that in comics they're so fixated on checklist drawings that Liefield feels the need to be like "this guy's standing sideways, I have to position his body in a grotesque abomination fashion so you can see his pecs too", which is something that I've never seen any other drawn medium do when drawing super-muscly men

but as I said in the spoiler, it was really just an excuse to post the picture
