In the absence of clear rules to prevent the bias, it will inevitably occur due to:
 +
*political correctness
 +
*a tendency to exaggerate and deceive to attract attention
 +
*reliance on obscenity to attract attention
 +
*a attempt to be "consistent" by treating men and women alike
 +
*where images are used, an obsession with race
