"The absolute best way of dealing with requests for nudes" link is broken.

Having just watched a documentary about nudes in history - a very clever, very funny documentary by comedian Hannah Gadsby -

I think the best way of dealing with a request for nudes is to send a picture of a famous nude painting/sculpture/photograph. Not necessarily of the gender that the person was hoping for, & not necessarily a sexy one - there are lots of very unsexy nudes in art history!

eg Marble sculpture of naked man wrestling with poisonous snakes. Not sexy! But definitely a nude!

I'm pretty sure some people would find it plenty sexy (I mean look at these defined muscles; lots of people love that), but I like your suggestion. :)

"Interesting review of Amy Schumer In 'I Feel Pretty'"

I don't understand how the message of this movie is positive (fool yourself and you'll be more confident? Or have I misunderstood something?), and considering all the terrible statements Amy Schumer has made I have no desire to support her.
