The option for equality is there, it simply takes sacrifice of solidarity. Sacrificing for others can be hard, especially when there's nothing in it for many or most of the ones who would have to do it. I did not really expect it to happen but I wanted a discussion of the point. I got that. I'm reasonably content.
I hike here in Northern CA quite a bit, and in the late spring and summer it's not uncommon to see topless women on the trails. It's all good.
Wouldn't it have been more productive if the discussion had taken place more in the general than the specific? It was the insinuations against the Staff that got people's backs up. All that achieved was to derail whatever point you were trying to make.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Personally, I think all the females on the board should stand up for equality.
Flop 'em out, societal mores be damned. Boru addendum for Heatheness: THAT was sexist. Tyvm.

[insert generic quip about girls and their backs here]
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!

My questions/requests and the decisions to choose sexism over equality are driven by their authority. My OP was appropriate. Surely you're not suggesting that people with such an abundance of experience on an internet forum would be so thin skinned to get their backs up over a simple and polite question of authority. None of these people have that kind of insecurity issues. Or at least I've never seen it. YMMV |
