Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

[account_inactive]

Really? REALLY?

What is the harm in discussing something? Are you so authoritarian that even a discussion about it is too much?

Ugh, forget it.

Meanwhile important shit is actually happening in the world.

Thanks for your pointless input but that is not the point and you know it.

I am not asking them to not comply with the laws. I am asking them to apply the rules equally. No women nude pics, fine... then no men nude pics.

How about a less unilaterally draconian solution; one which suits your sensibilities as well as everyone else's - you don't want to see /post men nude pics, fine... then don't look at /post women nude pics either. Fair?

No, I want the rules to be applied equally. Fair... yes.

That "equality" bit is my point. I don't care that female nudity is not allowed. I agree that young posters should not be subjected to nudity but what I don't agree is that men be given a pass.

Here's why:

Men have always been in control of sexuality of both sexes until recently. Men determined what was and was not sexually arousing and what was and was not acceptable for public view. Women's opinions were not even considered and neither were their desires.

Now women are supposed to be equal and we are supposed to in control of our own sexuality and be treated equally and here we are saying it's acceptable for men to still determine what is sexual and what is not by saying "men want to see women's breast as sexual so therefore they must be banned. But men don't see other men's breasts as sexual so that okay to see them. That is wrong.

I am not talking about law that restricts, I know what the law allows and what it doesn't (though this bs has been challenged in court and won for women to mow topless some years ago) what I am asking is for the forum to say "we realize the legal question is or may not be fair in it's allowances so we will be fair in our restrictions. That is the point I want to make.

Thanks for the response.

Men have never determined what is or isn't sexually arousing.

Legally speaking, I think they have, actually.

We will discuss it.

Thank you.

Originally I read the title of this thread as "Nudity is it sexiest in this forum?"

Sorry.

Let me ask you something...

Please explain why you think only some things deserve gender equality and others do not.
 
In the circumcision thread you posted:

I know the party has finished but my take is to flip the question and make light hearted jokes about female genital mutilation. Ask yourself if that's okay and you get my answer to the OP.

Equality is just that, equal or it's simply not.

And as far as important things happening in the world, this fo is full of frivolous threads. Many more frivolous ones than serious ones but inequality even in a small manor is still inequality.

Please explain why you think only some things deserve gender equality and others do not.

Because some things actually matter and others do not.

"Men have always been in control of sexuality of both sexes until recently, men determine what is sexually arousing or indecent for public viewing"

When I read this quote I was thinking more about sexuality in nature rather than from a legal sense.
In my mind, "always until recently" makes me think since the dawn of mankind until the modern age.

Yeh I agree that in most societies men put in place laws regarding sex in various forms of media but I imagine they have also been backed up by many women aswell.

So infringing on a woman's freedoms and equality while giving men a pass doesn't matter. Ok then.
