Yeah that's a challenging case. ISTM that norms with respect to body image are changing (consider, for instance, the more nuanced responses of the Kardashians to similar situations), but they haven't changed completely yet. Therefore it's wrong that the nude image of a woman is treated differently than the nude image of a man. It's perhaps more wrong that the nude images of celebrities are treated differently by prosecutors than those of humbler folk, but that's a different discussion.

N.B.: Humans often use words in rhetorical rather than literal fashion.
