STORY TITLE REQUEST: Woman attempts to destroy machines broadcasting ads

I remember listening to a story, probably on Escape Pod but possibly on Lightspeed, about a near future in which ubiquitous machine-generated gendered advertisements, crueler than anything that could be designed by a human, destroying people's self confidence to make them receptive to advertisers' products. A woman decides to go after the machine distributing the ads. Does anyone remember this story?
I also asked this question on Science Fiction and Fantasy Stack Exchange [

].
Thanks.

The story this brings to mind is this one:

All cat stories start with this statement: “My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...”
