It might be an idea to put the Women's Calender on the Women Only Forum, to set up here at WP... :twisted: :idea:

I would not contribute to such calender myself, due to personal reasons.

"In this photo taken July 3, 2010, from left, Marsha Cunningham, Debby Sims, Barbara Weber, and Lavonne Northcutt, members of the Knotty Knitters, pose for The News Tribune behind a white fence draped with hand knit scarves in Tacoma, Wash. Marsha Cunningham's grandchildren Josef and Mollee Cunningham, 7-year-old twins with autism, are the inspiration for the upcoming 2011 Knitting Naked for Autism Calendar, featuring eight Pierce County knitters and one from New York State, tastefully draped in knit goods. Most of the proceeds will go to getting the twins the treatments that have shown promise. Cunningham is also making the calendar available to other autism groups that want to use it as a fundraiser."

I never understood why women had to sell their bodies through photographs in order to 'raise money/awareness' for something.

Can't we just be respected enough to be listened to? Why do we have to be eye candy to be taken seriously?

I know you have dredged up a long-dormant, 4-year-old thread, but hey, why not resurrect it and get 12 fit-looking men with ASD to pose with their obsessions and not much else (all in a good cause, nothing creepy...)

You don't but lets face it people like to look at a woman's body. It's been like this since the beginning of time. Guys will buy a calender with ANYTHING they like on it not just women's bodies but womens bodies are a more universal interest for guys.

I didn't dredge the post up. The OP did.

The same can be said for women and men's bodies, yet you don't see nearly as much with men. It has more to do with women being viewed as objects and women accepting it then there being a universal interest in naked ladies.

I am sorry, I saw all those dates in July 2006 and completely missed the date on MrMark's post today, so my poor attempt at humour fell doubly flat.

In the olden days (and in museums), men's bodies were much appreciated and modelled with astonishing attention to detail (e.g. http://improbable.com/ig/2002/scrotal-asymmetry.pdf). Obviously it is less objectifying and demeaning because there is not a power imbalance, or association with states of vulnerability, so male totty-pictures can not be equated with female totty-pictures.
