The problem with an assertion like this is that there has to be evidence of
a test. An advertising agency somewhere has to have done a study where they
made a commercial, or set of commercials, with men, then made the same
commercials with women, released the sets to equivalent markets, gathered
results that showed the preference and shared that preference with their
clients and possibly published it for the rest of the world.

I don't believe that has been done and I will happily retract my statement
if anybody can show it has. The legacy is more work opportunities for men
and as long as the clients are happy with results there will be no pressure
to change.
