It's like saying a thread about rap music should also be inclusive of country music.
The forum as a whole can be more inclusive, without the specific thread being inclusive to the point beyond logic.
Adding male images to that thread will do nothing to change some the of the sexist comments throughout the forums which is really the issue at hand.
If you think that's the solution, I think you're really missing the point.

I'm not missing the point at all.
It's about eliminating the "boys club" atmosphere.
If women are actively participating in that thread, it takes away from the atmosphere of a college dorm with a bunch of guys just scoping babes. It would (I think) naturally become more inclusive, and those who make sexist comments may think twice, or find less to enjoy about the thread entirely.
While I agree it won't change the sexist comments throughout the forum, that may be what's "really at hand" but that isn't what I was giving a solution for, which I clearly stated. It's about you wanting to keep that thread , and in what way they can be obtained because (as it is currently) most responders seem to think it shouldn't remain the status quo. Is my solution for that thread the right one? Maybe not. But it's better than how it is now.
If you think my solution was "add guy pics = sexism gone" then clearly you're missing a bit yourself.
