I've removed the image; I suggest not restoring it (as controversial)
unless it is decided by consensus to be the permanent lead image. There is

Is there a perception bias here?
There are many many fine art nudes of men in existence. And if you look at
the body of work for nude sculpture then many are male - Pope Pius IX was
so enraged by this he even went around sticking fig leaves over all the
cocks in the vatican*, an utter travesty
Advertising not sexist. Really.
Well I'd be interested to hear rational arguments that it is...
I've always found advertising to be highly sexualised, but refreshingly
free of sexism.

One comment on your draft, is that the langugage makes it a bit unclear
for the average reader if/that the imbalance in England was because the
males left the country and/or were killed in overseas wars. It's implied
but not sufficiently explicit so some people might get confused.
Yep
Right now there are 3 questionable AfD's and various nominations, etc.
Plus a bunch of Good article nominees and other listings.
On a fostering friendly atmosphere note; characterising actions as
questionable is not very nice.

Hey Carol (and the list!)
The escalation was equally my fault. And I also apologise for the incident,
and the things I said.
My nice comment, as I explained in private, was not intended to cause
upset - I was unaware of the connotations. In that light; I can see how my
reply could cause upset,
I'd suggest having a different category for that. (although I am not sure
it is utile in the first place).
To avoid the mix up of back end admin and academic content.
