Are you suggeting he used the image of his wife without her consent? That would indeed be inappropriate, but the article does not seem to support this accusation. The quote from her imply she is fine with it:

> "The beauty of the internet is that people can take things, and do what they want with them, to project what they want or feel," she says.

Given my cultural background, it disturbs me that you’ve sexualized this photo enough to start casting the shadow of sexist offenses onto others, when it’s an opportunity for self-reflection. Why are you sexualizing this photo?

If someone manipulated the image to be explicit or presented it in an obviously sexual context, that might be a different story, but even then, the original image itself was never inherently sexual.

I’d reframe this to point out the image is very natural, i.e. what could be more natural than experiencing nature in one’s natural state?

Seeing this as something sexual is a choice, and an unnecessary one at that.

This is exactly the kind of image you would use to market Photoshop, a tool for image makers who are concerned with producing exactly this kind of idyllic, escapist scene.

But also, it's just obvious from the words in the phrase. I assume that outside toilets were often just wooden shacks, so a brick one is notable for its robustness. Is that comparible with a beefy labourer's physique? Sure. Is comparible to a curvy, classically feminine body shape? That doesn't make sense.

As the sibling comment to this one says, it doesn't even just apply to people (in fact I'd say it primarily doesn't).

Same when a woman gets a boob out to feed a baby. No erotic at all unless you are some creep.

I believe it is more the behavior, context and baseline than the actual nudity that triggers us. For instance I wouldn't notice some moderately attractive women in very short skirts and crop top in a danceclub because the club would be full of lightly dressed women. However I would if she is the only one dressed like this in the street while most people have regular pants and a jacket and it would probably trigger something inside that wouldn't in another context.

Also a male teenager might have a different view on this than most adults.

Probably due to most large social media platforms and entertainment content being from there, so their rules and social norms get imported here along with the content like the Colorado potato beetle, instead of being adapted to the local market and local culture, the way McDonald's is in France for example.
