He, and anyone who agrees with him are missing the point.
Why are there (usually middle aged) people in suits in Lexus commercials? Maybe because they're catering to the majority of their (intended) audience.
Why are there people in their 20's (mostly male) in Subaru commercials? Maybe because they're catering to the majority of their (intended) audience.
Why are there men in American truck commercials? Maybe because they're catering to the majority of their (intended) audience.
Why are sexy girls on Bud Lite posters? Maybe because they're catering to the majority of their (intended) audience.
Why do strip clubs feature ladies (and some feature dudes)? Maybe because they're catering to the majority of their (intended) audience.
Now, let me ask an equally important question. Why are more viruses programmed for Windows then Linux and Apple? Oh.... Windows has the largest (computer ignorant) user base of any OS. Might as well shoot for one with the biggest numbers when you're working the probability angle. Yes, I run Linux. Don't give me that more secure crap. Make an operating system more.... more anything and the human race will find a way to retard through it. It'll also find a way to exploit it. Sony, Iphone, Driod etc. (Sorry for the side rant.)
Why is there sex in games? Males are largest part of the player base who buy and play these games.
People market to their intended audience. It's how sales works. Sex is a part of our lives. It's something that at least seems to work in advertising. In games , sexy characters are arrows pointed at their target.
This version of the player base, the human male, was released a long time ago. It's a little late to change. There is some variety in limited quantity available, but if you're looking to hit the largest audience, guess what you're aiming for.
Is putting variety in a game worth it? I'd guess that there are people who crunch numbers on stuff like this. Something like trying to make 'Extra Time * Money in less then or equal to Profit'. Some will make this with gender and sex equation work for them. Some will side step it completely.
Think about it.... and if need be, grow up, or at least complain about something equally as important.... like the sky being blue. Maybe some people would rather it be orange, or neon pink. Sorry though, this version of Earth has already been released. Some things are the way they are for a reason. Feel free to complain about it though. This issue is just as problematic and important as sex in games.
