Agreed. Sloan's avatar is fairly low in detail and also distorted, creating an intimidating and creepy effect instead of a sexual one. Not to mention it's only seen for about 15 seconds, so nowhere near equivalence of Cortana.

I think this comic describes pretty well about how male and female objectification is often not the same. A half-naked man and half-naked women are often presented very differently so one is admired while another is lusted for.
