You guys, following the logic behind the article, I'm going to declare that since I'm a man and I have a penis, I can speak for all men on all issues of sexism involving a man as the subject. I'll start by answering a couple burning questions, but feel free to AMA.
"Kratos doesn't wear a shirt. Is this sexist? Y/N" - Me
Thanks for the question, Me. I think I can speak for all men out there when I say this: the objectification of Kratos is disgusting. His little skirt thingy is not adequate protection from all the minotaurs and shit he comes up against, and frankly, the way he's being used as an obvious sex symbol offends me.
"Nathan Drake is pretty hot. Is this sexist? Y/N" - Me Again
Great question, Me Again. Of course it is. Why does Drake have to be talented, funny, athletic, and attractive? It puts unfair pressure on regular-ass guys who aren't talented, funny, athletic, or attractive.
"I bought a statue of Batman with Arkham City and Batman's abs are built into his suit. Is this sexist? Y/N" - Still Me
I gotta tell you, Still Me, I'm pretty offended that you would buy something like that. I mean, Bruce Wayne is a man who stands for justice, and here you are with a sexy statue of him, objectifying his mega-hot bod. How is that just? You disgust me.
And there you go. Balanced perspective.
Men's bodies aren't objectified and commodified by society you forgot that part bucko.
