I guess I'd say "Leave it as it is" only because I don't care about the thread. It's not that I don't care about misogyny or that I think misogyny doesn't exist here, but I don't think that dealing with the YLYL thread would change much of anything. I think it would cause a much more jagged divide between posters.
I understand that closing it could show a zero-tolerance attitude towards misogyny here (and that's great!), but I don't think that's the way it should be handled. Threads like this one would have a better impact, I'd say, because at least we're getting the opinions from affected posters and starting a discussion.
Regardless, I do find the whole idea of YLYL kind of weird. Like a bunch of dudes (and even ladies) sharing trading cards of their favourite models. I like porn and sexy photos as much as most people, but I don't post it on forums waiting for validation of my tastes.
