What is offending - uncorrect?

Genuine question and not trolling:
what constitute unacceptable offence and who decide who risk to be offended by what subject?

Is B19B00B5 offensive to women because it use usually sexualised women body part?
Is B19D1C5 equally offensive to men? to all men? Not to me anyway so i can not judge.

Do you personally feel offended by any of them? Are there equally women and men who feel offended by sexualised content and what in sexualised content is so offending to them?

Maybe only a small small part of the audience feels offended by sexualised image and making such noise about them would be unreasonable.

I ask again honestly:
Who in the kernel context feels offended?
I, as a modern european, do not feel that the mere evocation of boobs is offensive to women nor that equivocating penises would be to men and vice versa( i am not offended to read about penises nor boobs).

Honestly is sex such a taboo that you can not even remotely picture it in you mind without feeling offended, or is that just women? Is there a presupposition that sex is offending to women and that's it?

I can just guess but am serious in asking these question, as far as i understand the kernel is still partly business sponsored and volunteer supported so such "no sex here that's unprofessional seems excessive to me". If you can explain to me that it is not a business practice but really a no-offense practice then who decide what is offensive to whom?
