NO GIRLS, HUH? WHAT DO YOU CALL THESE?
Do you have any examples of this?
I'm surprised you asked, dude! You've been on here just as long as I have, surely you've seen better examples than me! Here's a few videos from this month. Not the best choices but I don't want to dig through the years of content I've seen.
(Watch with your Girlfriend/Wife/Mother/Grandma for best results!)

These videos are pretty funny! There's nothing wrong with them but I have admit that when a cartoon resorts to lady tropes to get jokes across, it takes me and my girlfriend out of it.
Ending a decent Poke'mon parody with boobs? Meh.
Pervy anime guys/monsters thinking about boobs? Done to DEATH.
The Lovable Mickey Mouse could of been about Minnie and Mickey having sex while traumatizing Pluto and it still would of been hilarious without having to demean Minnie. But that's just being nit-picky.
I really don't want to open up a can of worms about girls in the media, so I'll just get to the source of why I'm posting this in the first place:
I wanted my girlfriend to contribute to Newgrounds and join me at the NG Meet this year but she doesn't want to sandwich her work in between two boob icons in the Art Portal. I also felt inclined to post about the way ladies are portrayed in the cartoons of our future animators. I'm just crossing my fingers for better female role models in the future of our cartoons and games!
P.S.
Your art is fucking awesome, dude.
If the writer is making jokes about women just for the sake of doing so, it's not funny, therefor not worth watching. It has to make sense. Like, if there was a cartoon about a woman being bad at driving, and there's no other punchline or anything else, it's not funny. However, Girl Gamer by Jaltoid is a good animation. And the same shit can be reversed with men. Starbarians is a good example of that.
tl;dr NG is usually good about not being douchey
Occasionally
Oh, porn in the Art Portal isn't anything new, it's basically the Art Forum's favorite conversation topic. I mostly didn't see a lot of misogyny in the animation/games department and was just curious.
There doesn't need to be a giant discussion. Your plea is but a simple suggestion to authors :)
You're better off on trying some other website. Newgrounds is nice and all but it's a very hollow shell of it's apparently once great self and it's will not get better.
Man your awesome! kept the stream alive with you hosting a good amount of time on it and I thank you for putting time into making us happy. Cheers!
THANKS, DUDE! I know what it's like to watch an event through a tiny screen.
That stuff means a lot to me since I'm always cooped up in a box for 18 hours a day.
Glad I could share things with you!

"She's basically the female version of me."
That sounds adorable, haha! I'll be sure to check out your animation, and keep enjoying Newgrounds! :D
