Oh, this was not good. I wonder how many of these were taken and uploaded voluntarily.

Subject: [Gendergap] Category:Nude portrayals of computer technology
Hi all,
Can someone please explain to me why
Category:Nude portrayals of computer technology (NSFW) even exists? How is a category like this, whatever about the image, remotely encyclopedic or useful to the project? It is populated entirely with sexualized images of women - almost all naked or semi-naked - with only tangential references to computer technology.
I'm a computer engineer myself, and a paid-up member of
SWE. Given the drive to get more women involved in STEM fields, I see stuff like this as being really damaging. And this is just one single example.
