And I've never worked anyplace where it would be a problem. Which refutes your categorical pronouncements about nationally-consistent standards. Everyone's got

  Well, if you're demanding standards, you could spend a few seconds looking up the definition of sexual harassment in the workplace: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_environment_sexual_harassment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_environment_sexual_hara... You'll notice 'pictures of pornography in cubicles' is one of them. http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/currentissues.html http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/currentissues.html (a government website, note) mentions specific cases where visible pornography counted as establishing a hostile work environment.

    Thankfully there's no such thing in this post.

    Nude sketches in this context are not 'pornography'. (Go ahead, look it up!) And, an illustration in a browsed web article isn't the same as posted pictures in a cubicle. Yes, the kind of hypersensitive context-oblivious standards you're describing exist in many workplaces. The point is they're not in all. The dissenting comments and downvotes you've received contain valuable information: others' experience really, honestly, truly differs from your blanket claims.

    In an ancestor comment you (correctly) noted that you hadn't said this post was porn. Now you are all but saying exactly that. Which is it?

      I'll make my point again: The problem is not that the content is or isn't pornography; the problem is that the content can be considered pornography by a viewer. It doesn't matter whether I think it's pornography, it's whether the person at the desk across from me does. If they think it's pornography, they're well within their rights to file an HR complaint if it makes them uncomfortable. Which is why it's good to have clear 'NSFW' warnings on things that might be inappropriate in the workplace. Trying to get really specific about what might be appropriate doesn't do anyone much good; just tag it NSFW if it's remotely questionable and people can check it out at home. Make sense? Visible genitals - whether male or female - are often considered not appropriate for general audiences in the US. So it is not exactly crazy to assume that someone might be made uncomfortable or upset by a coworker viewing them at work.

        Nudity is not pornography. I don't think it's healthy to assume others are so crazy as to call this blog post pornography.

    I am slightly concerned that you considered this "Pornography".
