Taliban rule, the Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan still
advocated a secular, open society.
On the other hand, do not confuse people's beliefs with the legal
situation. Even in the most liberal countries, there are strong
minorities (even often majorities) who oppose the public display of
close-up images of genitalia. For example, even in the EU (probably one
of the more liberal parts of the world), I doubt you will find many
people in Greece who would be willing to print such an article---this
despite the fact that Greece is well-known to have many nude beaches, so
has no qualms with nudity, even public nudity, in general.
I think if you were to take a poll and ask people if they found the
image that's been wrangled over on [[Clitoris]] acceptable for public
display, you'd find a large majority of the world's population would say no.
