Frankly speaking, it's not only women who get repelled by such blatantly sexist 
images. A stylized, kneeling, naked woman? It's not difficult to see whose 
(mainstream) fantasies such images are catering to. Unfortunately, given the 
deeply misogynist environment of most (all?) Wikimedia projects, what are you 
gonna do against it? You will not get even a majority, let alone "consensus" to 
ban such images from the main pages.
