Hope that also engenders a good laugh....

It's actually a serious point, though. It would be great to provide
images for those articles that don't portray women the way certain men
want to see them portrayed. I recall the Body Shop did that a couple
of decades ago -- started using images of women that fell outside the
usual range that tended to be objectified (older, not thin, etc). They
produced some very good ads as a result. The difficulty for us would
be in finding those images, then in maintaining them on the pages.

The concept of "being objectified" needs to be explained to the community
and incorporated into our style guides. This has to make sense rather
than being misunderstood.
