Your covers aren’t all that friendly to women on a regular basis

Is a photo of a woman unfriendly to women? I don't get it.

And the cover/article at hand really wasn't sexist ("oh! look at the boobies!"). It was mostly focused on tissue reconstruction, and (as I recall) the rationales for this that they delved into the most were (1) applicability to regeneration of other tissue; and (2) the importance of breasts to women themselves in Japanese culture (due to the ubiquity of public baths).

While this wasn't exactly reaching out to women, I think that anyone finding it off-putting is really looking for injuries.
