This is an excellent example of angry, prudish anti-sexism being sexist.
Americans need to get over themselves and recognize that sexuality and attraction are part of what makes life wonderful. Persistent sexual harassment and coercion are not acceptable. Appreciation and recognition of beauty are life affirming.
That said, I think the ads are in poor taste, not because they are women, but because they are quite obviously intended to be sexy. If it were a man in a tuxedo winking in the camera I'd feel the same way.
I don't think they should be banned. Toptal should eventually figure out they are getting horny men clicking on their ads instead of funded companies.
I think LinkedIn recognizing that the presence of women were the problem is abhorrent and they will be issuing apologies shortly.
