Frank et al,
I was trying to avoid jumping in, but how do you define equality. Is
it necessary to count before allowing a picture to be shown? Or is it
necessary to provide some limit on any picture. Can we submit male dog
pictures without female subjects for ?balance. This is and has been an
interesting discussion covering some VERY interesting points. As a one
time philosophy major I find some interjections and sub-discussions very
interesting, even though they seem to have drifted a bit off- course
once in a while. But be honest....Aren't the directions of drifts
interesting in their own right?
I am not sure that balance is needed. An agreement that some
sub-discussions may wander off course is only an indication of the
diversity that seems, at least most of the time, to make this one of the
more interesting groups. If a picture of a rotten egg does not stir
you, there are more interesting pictures ahead and behind it.
A deep breath and and an occasional grin suffice.

And I'll say it again:
I am not saying there needs to be "equality". Just a bit of balance.
I'm not planning on counting but the way it is now only naked women appear
here. It just doesn't seem fair, dammit!
Cheers,
frank

The question seems to boil down to why women and men are treated
differently as photographic subjects. Well, it's because they're
different.
...and why do you think they're different?
Because they're so easily distinguishable.
And if they're not easily distinguishable, they could be
transsexuals. I'm wondering: If we give equal "exposure" to male nudes,
shouldn't we also give equal exposure to transsexuals? And maybe break
that down into categories: per-op and post-op transsexuals? Male to
female and female to male transsexuals? Hmmm. Equality sure can get
complicated these days.
That's the way equality is. It's not a question of 'us' 'giving'
exposure to anyone. Every adult is free to do whatever they damn well
like providing they don't infringe the same rights of others. Doesn't
matter what their bits are like - you don't have to look at them if you
don't want to. All those people are 'us'.
Of course. My tongue was firmly planted in cheek.
