I worked in a motorcycle shop for thirty years. Rudy came by with his Snap-on truck every Wednesday. We got all the calendars and pin-up posters and displayed them proudly. But women started showing up as customers and applying for jobs and before we knew it we had female employees and customers who were “Offended” and we had to take all the cheesecake down.

Let me share a story with you from a woman’s perspective.
Back in the mid-to-late 80s, my mother worked in the accounting department of a manufacturing plant. When the Chippendale’s calendars came out, I purchased one for her as a Christmas gag gift. She displayed that calendar in her office. Apparently, someone was offended and she got called in by the “big boss.” As a result, ALL “pin-up-type” calendars were forbidden. My mama, bless her heart in heaven, did NOT remove her calendar. She merely covered up the part with the picture.

Your mama and I think alike. Hubs put a naked girl calendar in the garage. I made her a dress out of construction paper; high neck, long sleeves, floor-length. Glued it to her body with Elmer’s. She stayed that way for 18 years - till the divorce, which was one of the happiest days of my life.
Also, at my job, I shared a cubicle with a young man who put up a picture of a half dressed woman. I put up a BIG Bible verse poster. He said he didn’t like that. Told the higher ups who said I had to remove mine. I said, “when he moves his I’ll move mine.” Both stayed.
