The question at issue would seem to be, are male breasts not sexual organs but a woman's breasts are? Traditional society says yes. Is that sexist? I don't know.
Given that forum rules are driven by legal definitions, and the legal definitions have been overwhelmingly drawn up by male legislators, I'd say that the forum rules are sexist, but that the forum management is not responsible for the inherent sexism.

It's my personal opinion that we should only restrict what can be posted based upon the law, whatever liability the owner and staff wish to mitigate, with some measure of keeping to forum running smoothly thrown in.
It is not our intent to create discriminatory policies. I would consider any such discriminatory features to be artifacts of our culture and legal system.
