Compromise alert.

Rick's suggestion reminds me that there is lots of content that can't be 
prohibited, but could be labelled.  If Wikipedia only had a way of 
labelling the image in question as something factual like "female; 
photographed; breast exposed; glamorous", then I or anybody else could 
browse Wikipedia with our filter on, and the rest of you could enjoy 
unfiltered.

Wikipedia as a whole, in a practical sense, belongs to each of us.  But 
its multitude of facets are apportioned among us according to our 
interests and specialties.  There is no reason why content labels cannot 
exist as a facet of Wikipedia that is largely ignored by those who are 
disinterested in the associated needs.  And there is no reason why 
sexology areas can't exist.

The unreasonable positions are the ones that insist 1) strange niche 
areas (sexology) can't exist or be illustrated or 2) any content at all 
(Kate Winslet) cannot be subject to labelling for special needs.

Does that sound wrong to anybody?
