I think it's valuable that we seem to have reached consensus that sexualized
media is one factor in this whole effort to attract and retain women
editors.

But rather than continuing a general discussion about what degree of sexual
content is okay, how about we take what we've discussed and add it to a list
of issues that affect the gender gap? I just want to make sure we stay
focused on welcoming women editors here, rather than on controversial
content at large.
