Why is it that you would rather women be as vulgar as men than have men be less vulgar? Maybe it's men that need to evolve into less vulgar beings so that women aren't grossed out and put off by their comments? What happened to polite society?

sorry, i didn't say, or at least didn't intend to mean that "would rather women be as vulgar as men" or vice versa.
what i was trying to suggest is that if there were a hot guy thread, there would be pictures and comments on physique in there also. How explicit those images may differ, but i didn't suggest that women posting should be more/less vulgar. My comment regarding the "sexual evolution" was that the level of vulgarity that is expressed today is likely higher than it was even just a generation ago (without expressing any opinion on the trend itself).
I haven't followed this thread, so thought the issue was with the pics, not the comments.
i do agree on your point of being a "polite society" and we all have our "vulgarities" that we typically only express in private settings amongst close relations. This being a public forum, does come with the inherent rule that one can state their opinion as long as that opinion doesn't outright offend another user. So if there are people offended then it should definitely be considered for removal.
Without needing to cite actual examples, what kind of comments are the ones that folks are taking issue with in this thread? is it comments on physical attributes or are there perverse/sexual natured comments there?
