 * The nomination wasn't intended for the anatomical sense at all, which is coincidental; it was prompted by the verbal sense after editing that section. DonnanZ (talk) 23:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * just wondering if readers would complain even if only the verb senses were featured. I think we should start avoiding entries which refer to people in an excessively disparaging way. For some reason people keep nominating entries that are, shall we say, not very flattering to women, like and  (not accepted). One or two occasionally may be tolerable, especially if they are archaic or historical; more than that starts looking like a pattern. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think the noun, which has other senses, is offensive at all, or  are more offensive I think. The best I can suggest is removing the image temporarily at WOTD-time, if it gets that far. DonnanZ (talk) 08:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I tried disabling the image using < !-- -->, which seems to work (not saved). DonnanZ (talk) 08:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think the image is the issue (it's a medical illustration, not a photograph). I think the issue is the fact that words which refer to women's bodies or women in unflattering terms seem to get nominated more often than is desirable. Other WOTDs that previously got flak were and . Looking through the current list, I see, ,  and . I think these might be OK, but for some reason we seem to get far fewer entries that are specifically unflattering to men nominated. — SGconlaw (talk) 09:56, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I can think of some -, , , even (when someone is told they are gay when they aren't, the same can happen with ). No one else has commented so far, so I will have to leave it up to you. I don't want to argue the toss, except to say I was thinking of the verb and there was absolutely no intention to be uncomplimentary to women, having been married myself, and I am now a widower. DonnanZ (talk) 11:02, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I’m not casting any aspersions on you, of course. I was just pointing out that no one seems to nominate entries like the ones you just mentioned, and yet we seem to get others which are unflattering to women. So we should exercise some care. Happy to hear from other editors about this too. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * In the meantime, I have gone "". DonnanZ (talk) 15:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * While I agree about the others you mentioned, I fail to see how the neutral anatomical term "breast" is "unflattering" unless you mean that word in the strict sense of "not portraying in a positive light" rather than the more likely interpretation of "portraying a negative light". However, I don't find this nomination a particularly interesting word (either noun or verb), so I'm not going to argue for it to be WOTD. (, maybe, if we had a definition for it—it's a drill that you lean on with your chest to apply force.) Also, here's a suggestion for the problem you've raised. Give each nomination one point for each of the following criteria it matches: 1. it would result in disproportionate featuring of terms that apply to women, compared to terms that apply to men; 2. it's an uninteresting word; 3. it's a term for a sexualized part of women's bodies, even if it's not negative in connotation; 4. it's a derogatory term for a woman. If a nomination scores 2 or more, don't feature it. ← PointyOintment ❬t &amp; c❭ 19:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
