I'm not convinced that sexual images is a gender gap issue. But my non-expert opinion is that there is, or ought to be, a degree of feminist interest in the problems of model releases and age verification. I've always thought it strange that Andreas, and privatemusings before him, focused primarily on the very low probability that someone might accidentally stumble onto sexual images... to the near exclusion of the far more important problem, to me, of hosting potentially thousands of images where the subject is unknown, unaware of the publication of the image and did not (and would not have) given permission for such publication. For most images on Commons of a sexual nature there is no model release and no age verification, but despite the Board resolution and the lip-service paid to personality rights on Commons, there have been only minimal efforts to rectify this problem.
