I don't know about Instagram because I don't use it but I'm a guy and I've looked up a dumbell or two on Amazon and read some articles about getting fit and consequently I am actually often hit with ads featuring men with perfect abs, great pecs, and huge arms and legs.
As an slightly overweight guy with no abs and skinny arms (what is now called a "dad bod"), while I do not personally feel insecure seeing these ads I can see why people would.
I feel like the general response to woman being objectified has been to even the playing field by also objectifying men. "Oh? There are too many woman butts in movies? We'll fix it... lets start showing lots of male butts too."
With that said, only one of those ads I feel "sexualized" women. Most of them were less racy than the Macy's catalogs I used to sneak a peak at when I was 6 before the Internet. I only see completely non-sexual fitness and clothing ads in this article.
