I chose the quote that states "Men basically don't live in a world in which their bodies are routinely scrutinized..."
I disagree with this quote, in most ads men are depicted with their shirts off and extremely muscular. Average every-day men are supposed to be held to this standard to be considered "sexy" just as women are supposed to  wear scantily clad outfits and be overly thin to be considered "sexy."

This ad is a very good example of how men's bodies are scrutinized. David Beckham stands in his underwear and poses and this is considered sexy. Men have to live up to the standards people like David Beckham set and if they do not live up to these standards they are scrutinized.
