Beginning Thursday, the U.S. Air Force will begin checking all work spaces and public areas for pictures, calendars and other materials that objectify women.

Becky Iannotta of Air Force Times reports that Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, who ordered the service-wide health and welfare inspections, states that pictures of scantily clad women in calendars, posters or in briefing slides have no place in a professional workplace. Iannotta says Welsh has emphasized the need to stop sexual assaults and harassment and noted that he has received multiple complaints about images, jokes and comments that made women uncomfortable.

So if somebody is reading this news story at their desk, are they gonna be in trouble since it includes a picture of a "scantily clad" woman? Seriously, I see more skin on a warm summer day than there is in that pic...

My question is this. Are they going to have women take down photos of scantily clad men? After all, sexual harassment is a two-way street.

Not meaning to be sexist, but what about the female material that tends to objectify men? Will the women be required to shed themselves of their magazines, posters and the like, or is this regulation aimed only at men?

This is a waste of time. There are none. What you might find is a black Jesus or hear music that objectify women and that is freedom of religion and free speech and if it bothers you then you may be a racist according to the EEO minority ran office.

Why has it taken this long? The Navy did this YEARS ago.

If its on government property they can have it removed . id all most bet most of this type material is all ready put away and will be out of sight before the inspection.
