Image bias

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathing

Almost every picture in the article is a painting of a fat, Neanderthaloid white woman.

Talk page comment from 2018:

"Just discovered this article and was drawn to the illustrations, almost all of which show women bathing. Is this imbalance due to a deliberate choice of those who added the artwork, or a bias in the available material? HiLo48 (talk) 00:00, 17 August 2018 (UTC)"

This is a fairly widespread problem on the website.
