My reasonable response is that while I agree whole heartedly that it is sexist to consider women's breasts pornographic but not men's, I do not think it beneficial or appropriate to ban photos of topless men because they're neither pornographic nor harmful. If individual members should choose to refrain from posting images of topless men as a symbol of solidarity, I think that's fantastic. I don't personally choose that, and perhaps that makes me a sexist. I don't think so, but I'm okay with others thinking it does.
