Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

[SteelCurtain]

We don't think that the proper reaction would be to take a sexist law farther. We don't agree that expressing that solidarity actually accomplishes anything at all. It is not going to make the situation better for anyone.

But it isn't taking the sexism farther, now is it?

It is taking a sexist law farther. By taking something we all agree is sexist and instead of working to change that part of it--we make a move that accomplishes nothing except a token show of solidarity--but actually more permanently entrenches the original sexism, because nothing changes outside of this forum.

As for the line drawing---that is coming from a reaction (however biased) to the origin story of this issue. It came as a reaction to the issue at TTA, and the immediate levying of the charge of sexism on part of the staff here combined with the later accusation of orchestrating a child nudity post in order to shut down the conversation here---that, for better or worse, colored our reception and lines were subsequently drawn.

Can you clarify this part? Forgive my incomprehension, but I don't hink I'm getting what you're trying to say and don't want to do you the disservice of going off half-cocked.

When bennyboy posted his picture of the nude children, we unapproved his post and locked the thread. We were then accused of developing a patsy, convincing bennyboy to post the pictures so that we could lock the thread and shut down this conversation. This combined with the fact that the OP caused a ruckus at TTA for this very issue colored our reception of the motivation for raising this issue.
