    I love for you that what you just said is literally the definition of what I’m talking about. Attitudes like “well what’s her problem” are why women don’t want to be in STEM fields. You even immediately came up with a diminutive nickname for her, to make sure this woman would feel chided and demeaned. Stay classy.

      Anyone that gets worked up at the sight of a human shoulder needs to reasses themselves, regardless of gender

          The point is that the point is stupid. All there is to the image is a girl with a hat and an exposed shoulder. The image came from a porn magazine, so what? All the nudity is taken out. That image doesn’t even impact. A child. It takes a very fragile snowflake to be hurt by a normal portrait that just so happens to be from a nude image.

            The imaged is cropped, but cropping doesn’t remove the context of the image, and it isn’t worth the risk of making women feel less welcome in tech, which is a big problem already.

            If I may, why is it so important to you that the image continues to be used over other images, against the wishes of Lena and IEEE?

              It’s not important to me at all. I’ve only seen the photo a couple times in some Wikipedia pages. I’m just saying that the reason to remove it is stupid. Idgaf if they remove it or not.

              Okay, so we’ll change that pic with one of a girl with an exposed shoulder, but that’s cropped from a girl with a shirt on! That way the context isn’t so horrible and you, and many other girls who would otherwise drop out of STEM fields, can rest easy.
