DY regarding point 1I copied from the other post on this subject
As far as disrespect. This by definition is subjective, and not (solely) dependent on intent. If you sit down when say Obama enters the room becuase your legs are tired, you may not have meant to be disrespecful but you can bet it will be perceived that way. Editing women out of history (in this case literally) even without intent to be disrespectful is understandably perceived tha way. and silly platitude type answers (Kol Kevod Bas melech pnima etc), may work for some that are datan kalos but dont mitigate the (even if only) percieved disrespect.
and point #2. It certainly is easier to avoid pictures of women always or most of the time. Than to photoshop pictures. I’m not sure if on this point you are arguing for the sake of arguing? It is easier to remove the women than not to print them?
