I expect that female genitals have the same right of display than male genitals.
Either hidden, or visible.
But that equal standards are respected between women and men.
I personally agree they're approximately equal, and think both should be a link. But I don't see how we can make that pronouncement. If the majority of the world happens to be more offended by one than the other (which seems to be the case), we're not really moral arbiters that are here to say they're wrong. Principles such as "the offensiveness of female and male genitalia should be equal" might make for an interesting discussion for a philosophy of media class, or a journal of feminist theory, but I don't think we should really be in the business of putting forth new standards for what people should find offensive and what they shouldn't find offensive. If it's easy to keep them consistent then fine, but if people find one much more offensive than the other, then that's a matter to debate using some other tool than Wikipedia.

So, are you saying that we should mask female genitalia because the world is generally offended by watching it, while we should display male genitalia because the world is generally not offended by watching it ?
Are you also gonna remove pictures of women who show their hair because in most of the world women hide their hair ?
And how exactly do you measure the level of offensiveness of female genitalia in the world compare to level of offensiveness of these humiliation pictures in the prison article ?
Mind you, I think most of the world think these are VERY offensive, so by your standards, they should be immediately put into a separate page.
