  • That depends on what message you're trying to convey, IMO. I understand that women can gain something for themselves by posing naked. There's always a captive audience for that. But I don't get how it empowers women, somehow. Funny, I don't think if Michael Phelps posed for Playgirl people would be arguing that it empowers him and just shows he's sexual as well as athletic. Funny double-standard we have... gobears - Beautifully stated. I do wonder if people would be fussing about value, being taken seriously, etc., if Phelps appeared naked.
