Without someone saying that my reasoning is unvalid for being in a preported sexist forum staff. It was one of the reasons I left. And by consequence opened up the place for new mods. It was good.
So Poet I certainly see no reason to deny the policy is sexist and I don't see why anyone else would. But I wonder if you agree with me that the sexism inherent in having an imbalanced nipple policy -especially for the reasons it exists- is not especially egregious? All things considered I'd prefer that it didn't exist, and if there wasn't a cost associated with ditching it I'd certainly be on board for changing it. Perhaps if I had been donating as much sweat equity as you have I'd feel more entitled to insist the policy be more aligned with my values. But being the cheap slacker I am, I feel compelled to defer to the person writing the checks on this one. Sorry for all the bad feeling this has unleashed though, especially for you.
From a cheap bastard too, I never denied the case. If we can get society to accept girl boobs being shown, then I am sure the forum will be also following suit. And then happiness will ensue. Usually this kind of drives ends up giving restrictions to all, than to work hard to end restrictions to the few. Calling an online forum sexist for upholding a generally sexist trait of society at large is disingenuous at best and fucked up after the accusations thrown at the staff. It only makes it worse when said cruzade is spanning multiple forums. It is something as stupid as trying to build a house, starting by the roof.
