Template image

The current image for this template is either redundant or inappropriate for the most of the articles that it covers. Clearly the image is suitable for the Sex differences in human physiology article, but that article already includes the image. For other articles, like Sex differences in social capital, Sex differences in education, Sex differences in crime, etc. it doesn't make sense for this image to effectively be the lead image in the article (as it implies that physiological sex differences are important to these topics). Even worse, in those articles it also becomes the official "page image", which is the image shown in various interfaces to represent the article (for example, mobile watchlist and mobile search results).[1] Personally, I don't think any image is needed for this template and would favor just removing it.

As much as I'm for WP:NOTCENSORED, I agree that there are images that would be better suited and cover a wider range of the topics in the template. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:20, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. It's a bit comical on the social capital article. Wouldn't mind just losing the image, but I also imagine it would be possible to find a suitable replacement. Formerip (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who created the template, and also the one who added the image. I agree, and more than anything I threw the template together to tie any sex difference articles together. Preferably I would like to retain the image in the template box, but make it possible to use different images. I will look into replacements, and a way to allow different images for different types of articles. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 22:06, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
