Not sure why this is getting downvotes. The simple fact of the matter is that a lot of men and women wouldn't be comfortable clicking around a gallery of <cute-girl-photoshoot> in front of their peers for fear of becoming "that weirdo who spent 6 minutes zooming in on Emma Watson's elbow". This may not apply in small workspaces where everyone is chummy and socially comfortable, but not everyone has this luxury.

Whether or not this is sexism is one thing, but it's still a very real concern.

Hahaha I can see how that'd be a problem but OP specifically mentioned the gender of his co-workers which struck me as weird.
