I gather from the OP's statements that it isn't so much that a picture

contains a nude, or even partially nude picture (or drawing), but that

the picture (or drawing) is merely of a female.  It seems that the idea

is that it would be mostly males who would find a picture (or drawing)

of a female attractive, and therefore it is sexist.
Presumably, if you find that something offends you (such as a picture

(or drawing) of a female, or perhaps a book that expresses opinions with

which you don't agree), it is more noble to suffer offense rather than

pick a different picture (or stop reading a book).
