men were more interested in the (fantasy) world shown to them by the likes of Hugh Hefner. There's probably a 2rafa-style argument to be made here, something-something sexual revolution
Isn't it commonly accepted wisdom that men predominantly respond to visual stimulation as opposed to women?

the first public execution in America since 1937
This got me intrigued because I could swear I remember learning it ages ago from some book that the last public execution in the US took place in 1936. I looked around on the internet and it seems most sources also confirm the latter date. Roscoe Jackson's case went down the memory hole apparently. Wikipedia claims that Rainey Bethea's hanging in Kentucky was botched and generated a big media circus which in turn prompted the legislature to end public executions. It should be noted for context that Bethea was convicted of rape and the law they repealed in 1938 specifically stated that executions for convicted rapists be conducted by hanging in the county seat where they raped their victims.
Is it maybe a plausible explanation that it's the female character designs themselves in games and anime series that are generally skimpier than before?
