Annoying! Sexual objectification when I am just trying to work!

Ugh!  I'm hard at work, and as often happens when programming, I just wanted to look up an example online.  So I clicked into some user discussions about a library I am using, and BAM!  Shoved in my face is a cartoon of a cute girl whose breasts are animated to pulse before your very eyes.  AGAIN that reminds me, "Programming is usually done by boys, you don't belong here!".   I don't actually believe I don't belong as a programmer.  I am a programmer and I DO belong here, and I've been doing it professionally for 15 years.  But people out there continue to insist on acting otherwise.  I am beyond sick and tired of this.  Stupid, stupid annoying companies who think sexual objectification is something that is O.K. to do!  URAGHGH!!
