If a sample image is "making some women feel unwelcome in the field" you may be too sensitive for life.

It's the sample image and dozens of other things. For example: people telling them they're too sensitive for life because they're feeling uncomfortable looking at softcore porn while doing their work or research.

The full picture is never used in academia, let me assure you of that. If it weren't for articles like these, most people would not know where it even came from or that the model was nude in the first place. Not defending the use of the picture, strange choice of a test picture for sure, if you know where it comes from but wanted to give you some context.

You wouldn't know unless someone told you though

To end this, I will subject myself to being the test image. We'll crop on my o-face while I'm doing your mom and your dad is a cuck in the corner.

What? Some people would call that art. And it will just be my face. We won't see your dad with anal beads and cock cage in the picture.

If we only see my face in the picture what is the problem? Only you will know that the only time your mom could orgasm was with me.

You are strong enough to handle using this new picture, right?

If you thought that making this comment was a good idea, you may be too misogynistic for life.

If you thought making this comment was a good idea you might need to get a grip on life.
