Equality of the sexes

Women have fought so hard over the years for equality. Now their last step can be reached: if cartoon images of women can just be shown puting together IKEA furniture?

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/03/10/ikea.norway.reut/index.html

IKEA only shows males or people where sex is unclear in their manuals, but they say they do it for business purposes. Apparently some Muslims don't agree with women putting together a shelving unit, so IKEA attempting to not piss off any customers smartly designed their manuals. This is absolutely crazy to try to force IKEA to offend certain customers, just as I would think it would be insane if IKEA showed women and Muslim's complained. This does not need legislation, if you are honestly upset that women do not have the same access to fictional manual labour, don't buy IKEA goods.

This may be some by-product of a Norway vs. Sweden feud that I'm not aware of, but please, don't take it out on a private business! How about we settle this like mature adults, Jello-wrestling contest between the hottest blondes of each country!
