From 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..
