That's a good point. Even here in San Francisco it's much easier to find
female nudity in art and advertising than male nudity. I just wish
people would stick to commenting on the art instead of the woman's body.

The problem is, we live in a biased world where you can find much,
much more female nudity in fine art musem than male nudity. I'm
currently post-treating and uploading pictures from the Museum of Fine
Arts of Rennes (France) and the only naked male body is a sculpture of
a boy/young teenager playing, while they are lot of naked women, both
in sculpture and paintings. Half-naked men are more often corpses than
sexy budies. (If you want I can create a gallery with all artworks
showing naked or half-naked women).
What can I do with that ? Not uploaded pictures of artworks with naked
women ? Working harder to have awesome pictures of artworks with naked
men ?

It seems strange to talk about "Featured Pictured Candidates" as
though it is a process, or talk about "bias" -- from what I could
discern when I looked into it last time around, it's basically a
system that lets anybody promote their own work, as long as they
know how to jump through a couple pretty straightforward hoops and
wait a few months.
I still think that simply, clearly, *documenting* the process in a
practical sense would be a useful first step toward thinking up
and building interest in a more refined system. Until somebody
puts in the effort to do something like that, we're going to
continue to see weird entries on the front page of Commons (and
many other projects that use Commons' front page image on their
own front page) simply because one person took the initiative to
make it happen.
Not because the "community" at Commons made a bad decision. The
"community" didn't make a decision at all.
