> we could say the same about the ballerina pictured being a woman is driving man out of the ballerina industry
Maybe it is, I've got no problem if someone wants to make that argument. I don't know much about the Ballet world, so it's not something I'm going to raise myself.
On the other hand I've got personal experience of talking to a young girl who was trying to understand gender roles and if it was acceptable for a girl to be interested in space or computers because of things people had said to her at school. If she'd been looking at webpages with these kinds of pictures, I'm sure they would have had an effect.
> Stop being oversensitive about such minor things
At some point the regress of people getting annoyed about other people getting annoyed becomes ridiculous. I'm not spending time in a state of rage about this, and you don't need to be in a state of rage about my opinions about this either.
> I want to live in a society where there is no outcry over a chosen photo
And I want to live in a society where people understand that communication involves two sides, and that if your speech / picture selection makes a significant number of people think you're sexist and you aren't then maybe you should improve how you communicate.
