Were there more displays that were sexist? I really don't see much here worth complaining about for a year... Maybe I am missing something - it is just that the tied in "climber" is a male mannequin and the female mannequin is belaying, right? Would it be ok the other way around? Or should it be switched every so often? Do they routinely change their outfits but keep the girl belaying? If so, that would probably just be laziness as they can take off and put back on the harness without changing the rope around.

If I were to complain about anything from that photo, it would be that the belay carabiner is clipped into the tie in points instead of the belay loop, probably against the recommendation of the harness manufacturer. And I don't see a back up on the tie in figure 8. Those mannequins are going to die.
