Carmen - you did speak about statistics - that was what I meant. The surveys/American army stats etc.
About the intimidating thing - it's so far back in the thread, I can't to what I was referring - was it women soldiers? If yes, then yes, I was agreeing that all women (not just soldiers) may find that sort of thing intimidating or they may not. I never said that I was in complete agreeance with nude calendars, however, I said that I was in agreeance with them being done as one offs for charity.
I'm seeing this as it is and compared to the many pop stars that flaunt their bodies for their own money making, is, imo, completely different. The likes of Kylie, Beyonce, Pussy Cat dolls, Shakira etc, do far more raunchy/sexual music videos that are available to children to buy.
My views aren't blinkered and I can partly agree with something and yet, for a different reason, disagree with another part of it.
This (the calendar's) level of being sexist doesn't bother me. However, women getting paid less then men who do the same job and men who control their wives etc bothers me. There are always different levels of any subject which people find comfortable with at different levels.
