[split] Peanut Gallery Commentary-and the drama over the nudity thread continues

[Losty]

As someone who just won't wade through that whole thread of bile I don't understand why anyone is upset with the thread's OP.  My suspicion is it is related to the whole anti-feminism slant that is so common here and among so many atheists.  On the face of it, I don't see a problem with bitching about un-equal treatment even if its basis is entirely innocuous.  I have no problem with copping to the charge that I post on a forum with a (very slightly) sexist policy.  I don't on that account feel that I have a sexism problem any more than our moderation team or site owner does.  It is a very low grade of sexism to be charged with and I willingly accept it, and then immediately shrug it off.

I've found her few other posts fine in every regard and more than interesting enough.

I don't think anyone was particularly upset with her op? It wasn't really taken seriously but I didn't see anyone who seemed angry over it

I am upset. I have fought for real previleges for men and women at my workplace, face to face with the HR department there. Men got 60 euros after two years of contract, women did not, for the same work position. I pointed out that such was unfair, and it was drawed back... All I wanted was that everyone could get the same raise men or women, All I did was to remove that from men and turn myself into a real popular guy. You might think it was a move by me to get into my female coworkers panties, but they stood to lose as alot of them had husbands working there, and their money was coming to the household.

So yeah, forgive me for caring little about a little bitch feeling entitled to moan over tits in an online forum.

Can we please refer to them as "teh boobiez"?

Seriously though, kudos for your efforts on behalf of your staff.

I am free Beccs. I can call a spade a spade without putting a team on the line. Without someone saying that my reasoning is unvalid for being in a preported sexist forum staff. It was one of the reasons I left. And by consequence opened up the place for new mods. It was good.

If you insist but I kinda liked "Righty" and "Lefty". Whatever we're calling them now give those little sweater pups a squeeze for me.

So Poet I certainly see no reason to deny the policy is sexist and I don't see why anyone else would. But I wonder if you agree with me that the sexism inherent in having an imbalanced nipple policy -especially for the reasons it exists- is not especially egregious? All things considered I'd prefer that it didn't exist, and if there wasn't a cost associated with ditching it I'd certainly be on board for changing it. Perhaps if I had been donating as much sweat equity as you have I'd feel more entitled to insist the policy be more aligned with my values. But being the cheap slacker I am, I feel compelled to defer to the person writing the checks on this one. Sorry for all the bad feeling this has unleashed though, especially for you.

His entire point seemed to be that it is egregious and that there's no point in making a stink about it when there are real issues that people should be concerned with.

From a cheap bastard too, I never denied the case. If we can get society to accept girl boobs being shown, then I am sure the forum will be also following suit. And then happiness will ensue. Usually this kind of drives ends up giving restrictions to all, than to work hard to end restrictions to the few. Calling an online forum sexist for upholding a generally sexist trait of society at large is disingenuous at best and fucked up after the accusations thrown at the staff. It only makes it worse when said cruzade is spanning multiple forums. It is something as stupid as trying to build a house, starting by the roof.
