Among the three cited above, penis pictures, torture and humiliation are said informative enough, so that we display the pictures directly. However, a clitoris is not something informative enough, so, it should be hidden.
I think this is inconsistent.
If a picture is informative, we keep it. If not, we trash it.
If a picture is extremely offensive, we trash it. If a picture is generally considered offensive, we apply similar standard to all pictures generally considered offensive. If a picture is not offensive, we show it.
I think this is exactly correct. The problem, of course, is that it is not possible to come up with detailed standards for what is and is not offensive.
But clearly, I think, the treatment of 'penis' and 'clitoris' should be the same.
The argument that the clitoris image is not informative enough, as an argument for it to be hidden is a NON-ARGUMENT. Either it is informative and we apply it the same standard than to all offensive pictures. Or it is not informative, and we trash it.
It could even be argued that a clitoris image is significantly more informative than a penis image, since (it is said) many men with poor sexual education do not know how to find it.
