The problem is, we live in a biased world where you can find much, much
more female nudity in fine art musem than male nudity. I'm currently
post-treating and uploading pictures from the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes
(France) and the only naked male body is a sculpture of a boy/young
teenager playing, while they are lot of naked women, both in sculpture and
paintings. Half-naked men are more often corpses than sexy budies. (If you
want I can create a gallery with all artworks showing naked or half-naked
women).
What can I do with that ? Not uploaded pictures of artworks with naked
women ? Working harder to have awesome pictures of artworks with naked men
?

It seems strange to talk about "Featured Pictured
Candidates" as though it
is a process, or talk about "bias" -- from what I could discern when I
looked into it last time around, it's basically a system that lets anybody
promote their own work, as long as they know how to jump through a couple
pretty straightforward hoops and wait a few months.
I still think that simply, clearly, *documenting* the process in a
practical sense would be a useful first step toward thinking up and
building interest in a more refined system. Until somebody puts in the
effort to do something like that, we're going to continue to see weird
entries on the front page of Commons (and many other projects that use
Commons' front page image on their own front page) simply because one
person took the initiative to make it happen.
Not because the "community" at Commons made a bad decision. The
"community" didn't make a decision at all.

Speaking of gender and nudity, it seems the bias
towards female nudity
at en.wiki's Featured Picture Candidates is still as
strong as ever. And
check out the quality comments at

After you guys are finished photographing your all-male cumshots, maybe
you could
find some nice nude male art to nominate at Featured Picture
Candidates. Too bad Robert Mapplethorpe is still copyrighted.
