Speak for yourself. Like i told before in Gender Gap list, remove the
"porn/naked" images will not solve gender gap. And about culture - forgive

be in Wikipédia, talk with a Commons admin - even a female admin like me saw
thinks 100 times worst than a naked girl showing her 8 months pregancy belly
that you are complaining so much
