Yes, it's similar to covers in the past. The point is some significant fraction of sci fi authors / fans want a change.

Why is it any more sexist than this cover?
I don't understand why it's "sexist" to show semi-naked women, but not semi-naked men. Or are you saying that you think this Edgar Rice Burroughs cover is sexist, too?
