Politicaly correct?

This is from an rss feed today.

On Wednesday, the IEEE Computer Society announced to members that, after
April 1, it would no longer accept papers that include a frequently used
image of a 1972 Playboy model named Lena Forsén. The so-called "Lenna
image," (Forsén added an extra "n" to her name in her Playboy appearance
to aid pronunciation) has been used in image processing research since
1973 and has attracted criticism for making some women feel unwelcome in
the field.

Why? What could possibly be demeaning about a (above the shoulders) female
photo!
