I would agree with ff that male & female pin-up calendars are inapropriate in the workplace. However, there is a subtle difference between the two; the relative power positions of men and women

Hey, wait a minute, Flossie, whatever happened to all this 'equality' and 'non-discrimination' all of a sudden? I've noticed subtle little differences between men and women myself, but that's not the point.
In my latter years in the workplace we had predominately female bosses. Does that mean I should have been able to put up posters of Nigella Lawson but the girls banned from displaying photos of George Clooney, because of the relative 'power positions'?
Also, In such a situation would gays be allowed to pin up pictures of Gorgeous George, but not the poor girls?
I'm truly appalled at your now quite reactionary comments on equality, Flossie, I really am ...
At one place of employment I had a photograph of Jean Rhys on my wall with the caption "all I need is to buy a new ginger wig and to start a new novel".
