I'm glad you pointed out the double standard. I've gotta be honest, I think it should be okay to print both. If you're too young to appreciate the meaning behind the picture, they should stick to the funny pages. This is the same type of thing, in my humble opinion, that parents face with all media. Children probably shouldn't watch certain movies or TV shows, just as they shouldn't see some images or read some stories.
The paper shouldn't be reinforcing such a brazen double standard, especially considering we're talking about the NYT. This isn't some second rate paper.
Again, excellent comparison.
