Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

The situation is, perhaps, unfair, but beyond our control and not subject to any given persons opinions, nor is it an ideological endorsement of any particular law by the boards. You mean the short answer is "yes" it is sexist discrimination.

Indeed, but it's not the fault of the forum. RE: Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

The solution based on equality of course would be to not allow men's pics if women's are not allowed. RE: Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

I think you missed the bit where we -don't- make the rules. No one consults us when they go about setting pornography laws Heathen.

That being said, there are plenty of places you can go to see nipples of various sizes, shapes, and genders. It's an Atheism forum, not a Free The Nipples forum. Boru

Sounds fair to me.
Even if they went as far to make the whole forum 18+ just to show topless women, topless underaged women would still be against the law and allowing them to be posted could get the forum to be shutdown. You want change? Protest it somewhere where you can actually get social constructs and laws changed, because complaining about it on a forum isn't going to change law.
Furthermore, I really don't see that many pictures of topless men floating around the boards anyway. |
