Where have they complained about attractive women being used? I've only seen complaints about the image being from a soft porn magazine. Maybe you can conjure up someone saying this, but it's not the common complaint.
So your whole rant is off the mark. As I said: a straw man. There is no discrimination going on here.
- Dalewyn 3y agoFrom the article this thread is about, emphasis mine: >It is also a sexually suggestive photo of an attractive woman, and its use by men in the computer field has garnered criticism over the decades, especially from female scientists and engineers who felt that the image (especially related to its association with the Playboy brand) objectified women and created an academic climate where they did not feel entirely welcome.
- matsemann 3y agoAs I said: it's the association that's the problem, and the sexually suggestive nature of the picture. And still, no discrimination going on by stopping to use that picture..
