I gather from the OP's statements that it isn't so much that a picture contains a nude, or even partially nude picture (or drawing), but that the picture (or drawing) is merely of a female. It seems that the idea is that it would be mostly males who would find a picture (or drawing) of a female attractive, and therefore it is sexist. Presumably, if you find that something offends you (such as a picture (or drawing) of a female, or perhaps a book that expresses opinions with which you don't agree), it is more noble to suffer offense rather than pick a different picture (or stop reading a book). -- --- My bands, CD projects, music, news, and pictures: http://www.lateralforce.com My blog, with commentary on a variety of things, including audio, mixing, equipment, etc, is at: http://audioandmore.wordpress.com Staat heißt das kälteste aller kalten Ungeheuer.
