You've been breaking the guidelines a lot. Could you please read them? We're here for more than just drive-by snark, no matter what you're replying to.
Oh, I forget that normal people still use mobile apps. I basically don't install anything that requires any permissions, which works well because most intrusive apps rely on Google Play Services which I also don't run.
Anecdote: My instagram ads also consist of uncommonly thin, scantily clad women, and I'm male, and do not do yoga (though I am considering it.) I don't think it has as much to do with your gender as it does with instagram doubling down on "sex sells".
Is this not simply a reflection of which companies are willing to pay, or sponsor, Instagram with the most money? Or is this a concerted effort by Instagram, or society in general, to only accept ads of this nature? Should Instagram require a diverse set of advertisers/sponsors? Even it means that they will generate less revenue?
I have every sympathy with the writer here, but they seem to have missed the obvious way to opt out, which is to just not use the website/app that is upsetting them.

ps. Not sure if it works on instagram, but works fine on youtube and the like.
Telling them "Use a different service, which your friends don't use." doesn't add anything useful.
