You're misrepresenting the article. It clearly states Victorian Britain had a double standard for sexuality: two naked men kissing was out of the question because it would point to homosexuality, but two naked women kissing was -- if not harmless -- at least not outrageous, because they claimed women had no sex drive and therefore the scene couldn't be construed as sexual, much less homosexual.
It has nothing to do with wokeness, please don't introduce something that's simply not there in the article. This is about erasing female sexuality.
They even assert the photographer sometimes assigned the role of a "man" to one of his models, because the point wasn't "women kissing" but "humans doing everyday activities, including kissing". They claim there was no erotic component to the photos, though I find that claim hard to believe.
