In a totally unfair world where supple, rising female stars such as Lea Michele and Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett take almost all of it off  for magazines, there really exists no acceptable counterpart for men to strip while still maintaining their classy careers. Right?

Otherwise, Glee's Chord Overstreet would be posing for Playgirl's photographers right about now, making a cool hundred grand or so, but he's not:

"We couldn't work it out," a rep for the men's nudie website tells us. "Chord's people decided against it."

And to think Chord didn't even have to do it full-frontal, either! Jeez. Why is it only women seem to be so free about showing off what they've got. Just don't get this.

However, Kanye West hasn't been so shy about revealing his private parts, and he's a much bigger star than Chord, for sure! Of course, Kanye was just sending a pic of his privates to somebody for a hookup, but don't tell us for a second he didn't think the raunchy shot would get out. I mean, look how quickly he 'fessed that the penis pixels were his!

Now, what's the damn difference between that and posing for a skin rag, huh?

Indeed, Playgirl says they were offered the West pictures first, before they hit the web elsewhere. "It would have cost us $100,000, and we said no," reveals the Playgirl rep, before adding, "we should have said yes."

We not so politely disagree.

Chord Overstreet shoulda said yes!
