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.
But you're not responsible for anything outside this forum, and no one is asking you to assume that repsonsibility outside your own purview. But surely you can have a say here, in this little corner of the internet, right? I'm not sure how emplacing a nonsexist policy here more permanently entrenches the original sexism, though. Could you expand upon that?
"Think globally, act locally" is something that in my military days I scoffed at as hippie-dippy bullshit. But I think it's an approach that should be given more thought here, no matter your personal feelings about the OP or her heavy-handed approach. I just don't understand why the line is being drawn here.

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.
Understood, thanks for the clarification. As I've said, I can see your side of it too.
