To put a finer point on my comment, I'm claiming that it's not something that needs to be handled. Women can handle it in the same way they can handle a cloudy day or a man not racing over to hold the door open.
I would suspect your shrill infantilization of women and the vicarious outrage on the behalf of women is something much harder to handle if you want to minimize the handling women need to do.
How many people reading this even saw or knew about the uncropped Lena picture until they saw men on HN/Reddit nodding vigorously at each other over over how many women pass on STEM because of it.
I see outrage like yours and wonder when was the last time you actually polled a woman's opinion on something like Lena. I'd wager 95+% of women roll their eyes that a cropped Playboy shot even moves the needle.
