I think it is obvious that some people will have a problem with those images, and others don't. Apparently Sarah is (justified or not - that doesn't matter) under the impression that it would not be appreciated at her work if she would open such images there. That she has this impression is a fact. That she is because of that unable to access the textual contents of the article is also a fact.
The question in place is now - should Sarah, if she wants to, be enabled to selectively filter out images so that she can browse on Wikipedia without worrying too much about whether the next page will contain an image that people on her workplace would find inappropriate?
Of course people are allowed to have all kind of opinions on this - I heard Kim (and others of an alledged vocal minority) saying very clearly "no", even though he found it necessary to twist my words for that. And the board clearly said yes.

*My boss (...) can't open the pregnancy article at work because the intro is NSFW our workplace.
I'm sorry but i don't find the problem in this article.
*I can't open the [[vagina]] article at work either, because of the really
in your face photo of a vagina when you open it up
The article is about vagina. The only picture there who might be "NSFW" is this one: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Azvag.jpg who only shows what are the anatomy of a vagina. I find very educational.
And BTW, if you don't want to see a vagina, don't open the article.
*who is totally grossed out by that photo on the vagina article,
gahhhhhhhhhhh, surely she can't be the only one!
No it was not. There are in fact a category in commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Vagina ) and in that category i found the image who replaced the Image you dislike so much< http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Human_vulva_with_visible_vaginal_open...
.
But not because you don't like, because the one in the article now is more clear. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484

Does your feminism excludes necessity for sexual education?
No, but, I can send you some pictures on Commons that have been "speedy keeps" of strippers with their legs spread wide because they are "educational and high quality."
My boss, who is bound to have a baby any day now, can't open the
pregnancy
article at work because the intro is NSFW our workplace. I can't open the [[vagina]] article at work either, because of the really in your face
photo
of a vagina when you open it up, however, I can totally read the intro to [[penis]] since there isn't a big giant penis in one's face upon opening it. I work in an educational environment (a museum institution, which has exhibits on sexuality, gender, etc) and I can't even look at these
articles
at work, take that as you will.
Sarah who is totally grossed out by that photo on the vagina article, gahhhhhhhhhhh, surely she can't be the only one!
