I, for one, demand a recant. Outraged, I tell you!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

To have them delivered via PM is asking a bit much I presume...

Awesome, and I was happy to show solidarity by censoring any posting of male nipples I had on my agenda - which was none.  However, that did not seem to be what the ask was.

The ask seemed to be that the staff enforce that on everyone, which is an entirely different kettle of fish.

Unfortunately we saw our forum triple its man nips collection since that thread. Probably my fault. But the referendum really was an obvious win for mandatory man nips.

To be honest, I think I've seen about 5 people post topless pictures in the entire time I have been a member on this forum. That's even after the whole man nips fiasco. I don't see this being a huge issue in the future. I will continue to not post man nips. I don't remember ever having posted any to begin with but if I have, I've also posted rule appropriate female nipples so I hope that evens out the score.

It appeared to me that the request was that we either ban man nips or that we admit to being sexist. I had no interest in doing either, personally.

No, like me, you only have the nipples without the whole booby package which is supposed to go with them.  Don't worry though, your clit puts hers to shame, I'm sure.

Why not admit to being 'sexist' in the sense of unequal treatment when that is true?  Doesn't mean we want to be sexist.  We just can't afford equal nip treatment when to do so will alert the google nano-bots, thereby undermining the financial viability of the site.

RE: Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.
I was perfectly happy to admit that there is unequal treatment in society and the law in this issue, and our policy merely reflects this. That doesn't make us sexist in particular, which was the thrust of the accusation. It makes us standard(ly sexist).

And as has been noted many times, there is no worthwhile remedy, so it's kind of moot.

There were many ways to open a civilised discussion about it, and this wasn't one of them.

I already agreed that the rule itself was sexist, that the law it is based on is sexist, that the society that upholds the sentiment is sexist. That wasn't good enough it seemed. I won't admit to being personally sexist because I do not believe I am and I do not believe that refusing to restrict the posting privileges of male members makes me sexist. I would do the same for women were it a viable option but it is not.

And I agree with your way of describing it.  It doesn't mean that we ourselves are motivated by sexism when we choose not to buck the societal norms and laws that exist regarding nip pics.  Still I'm happy to concede that of course our nip policy is sexist in the sense that it reflects those norms and laws.  Policies can be sexist without reflecting the intent of this sites owner, moderation team or users.

Then I see it the same way you do. So if the OP of that thread is done castigating us I sure wish she'd get in there and make me sammich; posing for nip pics is hungry work.
