Great to see the thread default attitude towards women remains the same*
*let's not have another debate about whether women exist on the internet, we're here...deal with it.Please explain how it's sexist. Because after growing up with a feminist mother and sister, I still don't get it. It may be in questionable taste to some people, but really is it sexist. Is it really true, that by posting the photo, and making a comment about her body really sexist? Does it show a disrespect towards women...? Personally I don't think it does.
Would it be homophobic, to post a photo of an attractive gay guy?
Wether it fits your idea of sexist is almost beside the point. It creates an atmosphere that is less than inviting to women and where they feel left out. If %70 of the posts where pics of bulges and gifs of flapping penises I know I would feel quite left out.
PS. This is my opinion on the matter. Howeve, I´m not very good at being a feminist so you might catch me saying something stupid in other posts.
do you think it's fair to repress male behavior? Do you think young people running in the streets is unfair to old people with walking sticks? Do you think a homogenised society is the path to Utopia?
If so, go back to your logans run society, and please don't use the keyboard anymore... because it's hardly inviting to those without fingers. You fucking finger Nazi !!!
You can probably be as manly as you dream of without being a donkeyhole. By cultivating work related spaces where women feel unwelcome we contribute to shaping societies where up to 50% of the greatest talents never find their rightful place as professionals simply because they are women. They are regularly being bypassed for positions by far less competent men because the guy is one of the boss's drinking buddies after work. Beyond it being unfair, it is detrimental to GDP growth and efficiency in the economy in general.
Are you serious? I have heard all about the glass ceiling from my mother and sister for decades. I understand the point that discrimination happens to women. You also must understand discrimination happens to almost every person at some point in their lives; Educated, uneducated, old, young, black, white, gay, straight, short, tall, fat, thin, male and female.
Also, this is not a work related space... it's a PUBLIC FORUM.
I'm asking why is it sexist, to post a picture of an attractive woman? Calling a man sexist for looking at a photo of an attractive woman, and or making a comment that she is attractive, is not sexist. To try and repress that male behavior is sexist.
So please, get down off your high horse and deal with the fact that if a woman wants to pose in a bikini and be photographed, that's her choice, and if a man wants to look at the photo that's his choice, neither event is your choice, in this instance.
I see you understand. Thankfully you understand all too well that the main point of all of this is that by suggesting a more civil tone towards any potential woman who may frequent this forum, it is you who are the victim. I just hope every woman who reads our little discussion understands that they should either post pictures of themselves in bikinis in the forum or pretend to be a guy, so that your fragile manhood stays intact.
What tone towards a woman ? What tone, where ?
Please point out where the woman was insulted. I insulted you, but your username is fatMAN, I assume you are a man. And I insulted you not based on your sex, but because you are suggesting something that's totally untrue.
The original picture...
So it's a pretty woman, who I presume has had a boob job in a bikini, admiring her own boobs. So please tell me how this picture and comment;
1. Insults women
2. Stops women getting jobs
You will notice I used the word "Insults" and not "offends". Because some people take offense to almost anything. That photo does not insult women, It may offend (some) women, but how is that anyone else's concern? If you get offended by that then I suggest you are easily offended.
As for it insulting women, that is a joke. It offends some women. Some women that seem to have a chip on their shoulder.
Does this insult footballers?
Does this insult men?
If he were to post a meme of someone in a wheelchair, saying he can't stop staring at the wheelchair... The that would be an insult because that is drawing attention to a disability. But here is the point you and several women seem unable to grasp...
BEAUTY AND BOOBS ARE NOT DISABILITIES SO THERE IS NO INSULT
