Do you have his permission to repost his pic in another forum? Did you even ask? No, you did not.

And it not about this image, it's about the enforcement or lack thereof of a sexist rule. Too bad you are clueless.

Given that forum rules are driven by legal definitions, and the legal definitions have been overwhelmingly drawn up by male legislators, I'd say that the forum rules are sexist, but that the forum management is not responsible for the inherent sexism.

That's true but they are responsible for applying them equally. Smile

I've always considered allowing mens to go topless and not womens to be a special perk for leering homos like me.

Not sure I would like to see that sensible policy changed.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I get that, that is your personal preference but as you well know it's not equality.

I have always considered allowing different gendered couples to have sex and get married to be a perk for a straight person like me.

But I'm absolutely sure I like that fact that same gendered couples can openly be with, have sex and/or get married to the gender they prefer and I worked to see the old policy changed to allow them to do that, even though it's didn't apply to me at all. Smile

All this talk of allowing female toplessness is making me horny.

I had to deal with this one IRL recently.  My daughter was in tears about how unfair it was that she had to wear a shirt.  She's a snowflake, it's hot....we don't have ac, they run around the house stark naked.  The rules beyond my walls aren't the same as the rules within my walls.  It was her contention that this was unfair, particularly in that her brothers don't have to wear shirts.   I told her that it was unfair, but that I wasn't going to make her brothers do something I thought was silly anymore than I would make her do something I thought was silly -if it were up to me...but it isn't.

Hopefully, that instills in her the notion that the way to go about approaching equalty and inequality, is not to insist that puritan rules be applied to others.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I demand to see some girly ones right now, if only to get that image out of my mind.  Come on girls, are you gonna let a dude do all the flaunting?  Show us what you're made of!

No idea, you'd have to ask a staff member for clarification on that.

Sorry if it's already been answered but just in case it hasn't:

Da Rulez Wrote:The staff will make the final decision on whether content is pornographic or not, and will take into consideration whether the content is more artistic than pornographic (e.g. depictions of Venus de Milo or Michelangelo's David are not in violation of this rule).

Case by case basis, in other words.
