1:  so what?
2:  It being with another women does make it a more flagrant departure from the
    ideas they are trying to push/claim they hold.
3:  I think they would have done it even if she had been by herself in the
    scenes.

Huh?  The fact that she posed for the photos shows this to be false.  I'd
really like to see some support for your statement.


While I'm at it, I'll throw my two cents worth in on the Hot dog incident as
sexual harassment.  Anybody who sincerely feels that it was her being a women
that provoked the complaint has failed Greed 17b. It was the competition, and
the traffic distraction bit was simply the best excuse he could come up with.
If it was really an issue of she was too pretty, he would have kept his mouth
shut and stared out the window at her.
