Well done, let's hope it holds. :)

Those who support this need to discuss this on the talk page if it is to
stick. However, it is well within policy.

Knowing how hard it was to get "gender -related" slurs in there, I'll be
interested to see.
However, I also do worry about double standards. For example, earlier
somewhere someone suggested we visit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochre
where a barebreasted woman was used to illustrate the use of it as a
body paint in Africa. I made the point that I really would like to know
if men were painted and if the penis also was painted on men. Something
tells me under that rule someone might have jumped all over me for
"innuendo" since innuendo is in the mind of the behold. I actually in my
mind had a heavy innuendo intention, but objectively speaking it
probably didn't look that way. Others might have seen it as more of an
innuendo than even I meant.
So bottom line, whether or not it's debated, i think a little more
detail needs to be added to make it clear that strong and intentional
innuendo is a problem.
