I see a problem, but that doesn't mean I would propose a draconian solution to solve it. "Mandating" something does not follow from seeing a problem. I see problems with many things- for example, the commercialism of our society, our dependence on cheap foreign labor, race relations- but seeing a problem and describing the problem, does not imply any sort of mandating to solve it. If you think about how far we've travelled since the 60's, in terms of using women's bodies in advertising, I think reasonable people could wonder what is on the horizon. Advertising (and entertainment) constantly have to push the limits, and that's why we are where we are now. You could see your lovely ladies in Penthouse or Playboy and thus spare the rest of society from having to see them. I'm not sure what the problem is with that kind of compartmentalization. Note, I'm not "mandating" anything.
