Look more like nuts to me.

If a 16yr old female member posts a topless pic it's child porn, in a 16yr old male member posts a topless pic it's just a hot day.  The situation is, perhaps, unfair, but beyond our control and not subject to any given persons opinions, nor is it an ideological endorsement of any particular law by the boards.

The short answer to your question, would be "No".

You mean the short answer is "yes" it is sexist discrimination.

Indeed, but it's not the fault of the forum.

Because of human evolution and societal norms, female breasts are sexually desirable, whereas male breasts are generally not seen so. They are the anatomical equivalent of the belly button.

Also, we are subject to laws, and like it or not, we have underage users. If we allow female breasts in the open forum, we'd have to make the entire forum 18+.

A69 is very peen centric.

That is a wholly sexist statement in and of itself. Men's breast are a object of sexual desire not only for some women but some men as well.

The solution based on equality of course would be to not allow men's pics if women's are not allowed.

Sure it is. They make the rules, they are in charge of enforcing them. They can enforce them equally.

I think you missed the bit where we -don't- make the rules.  No one consults us when they go about setting pornography laws Heathen.

I doubt very much that AF is being sexist in this matter, as they are simply complying with laws and the nature of this Forum.

That being said, there are plenty of places you can go to see nipples of various sizes, shapes, and genders. It's an Atheism forum, not a Free The Nipples forum.

Sounds fair to me.

[T.J.]

Even if they went as far to make the whole forum 18+ just to show topless women, topless underaged women would still be against the law and allowing them to be posted could get the forum to be shutdown. You want change? Protest it somewhere where you can actually get social constructs and laws changed, because complaining about it on a forum isn't going to change law.

Furthermore, I really don't see that many pictures of topless men floating around the boards anyway.
