the silent vast majority of members who arent sexually repressed and have no problem whatsoever with the human body You know, I see this line a lot, and I'm getting really tired of it. It's not the human body you purport to be celebrating. It's one particular kind of human body: the gorgeous supermodel with perfect hair and perfect makeup. That right there is your rallying cry and your standard to hoist, and anything else, as far as you're concerned, is a waste of time. So if you're as true to this belief as you claim, prove it. Let's see a first-rate image of a nude study of an overweight, middle-aged man. Not a laughable cartoon, but one that shows empathy and a real desire to celebrate the naked human body in all its diversity, instead of just the one that happens to sells. I'll bet right now that none of you closet sexists can do it.
