It's actually a serious point, though. It would be great to provide
images for those articles that don't portray women the way certain men
want to see them portrayed. I recall the Body Shop did that a couple
of decades ago -- started using images of women that fell outside the
usual range that tended to be objectified (older, not thin, etc). They
produced some very good ads as a result. The difficulty for us would
be in finding those images, then in maintaining them on the pages.
