In case of "shocking" or potentially disturbing photos/articles
we should just follow policy
and keep Wikipedia as encyclopedia for all ages.

I'm wondering what the thinking is among list
members concerning photos
depicting more militant feminist protest activity.
I've been searching for images on Flickr that relate to feminism
worldwide, and selecting some to copy to Commons. I've come across a few
that are definitely in the radical end of the spectrum. The photos
themselves range from "could be offensive to some people" (e.g. topless
demonstrators) to "fully intended to be offensive to some/many people"
(e.g. anti-male graffiti, posters dealing with menstruation).
Now, it's one thing to discuss militancy in an article, it's another to
see photos. They have documentary value, and I'm of the mind to go ahead
and add them to the Radical feminism article. Since they were intended to
shock, though, I do hesitate to do it.
Would they serve an article well, or detract? Opinions?
