This just occured to me... why were you complaining about the unfair amount of female vs. male nudity in cinema yesterday? Seems you'd have little to complain about there...

It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation in response to your trying to argue about the MPAA and its determination of what is an R versus an X or NC17 or whatever.
However, yes, it does seem to me people make a much bigger deal about a nude frontal shot of a male than a nude frontal shot of a female. Which is silly if you think about it.
I wasn't speaking to it in my original post, but in the sense of male versus female treatment and the ongoing issue of over sexualization of women (which by the way is even worse if you are a lesbian as I was reminded recently when a fellow employee said something quite awful to me) yes, I would complain about the number of male frontal nudity shots versus female frontal nudity shots.
On the other hand, I personally could do with no frontal nudity shots. I don't go to a movie to see naked people, it doesn't do much for me.
