As one of the women on this site, I guess I should voice my opinion - although others have explained it much better than I could.
Like the post above says, there is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty - and so I have no issues with the
idea of the YLYL thread. It's the objectifying comments/attitudes that some posters have that is so infuriating. And those comments/attitudes do show up in other threads.
I usually feel very welcome in this forum (although I rarely post, I do visit several time a day), but there are times when the sexist comments/attitude makes me feel very unwelcome.
Also, not sure how to say this without seeming condescending or something, but I don't know if guys know what it's like to constantly be judged
only by looks. A woman could be intelligent, have a great job, have lots of accomplishments, etc, and still be reduced to '4/10 would not bang' because she may not fit the photoshoppped ideal of perfect woman. Not saying that every guy does this, of course.
Ugh, I feel like I'm doing a horrible job of explaining myself, so I will stop typing now
