They should be afforded the same anonymity in voting that the rest of us had.

Edit: Here's my quick count of female posters who have had their say in here (and please correct me if I've misinterpreted any of your opinions):

maverickistruth and eastern girl - shut it down

wittynickname and peanut - have problems with misogyny throughout the site and don't like or go into the YLYL thread, but never said explicitly what they think should be done with it

firefly and ex libris - same as above, but explicitly said they don't have a problem with the existence of the YLYL thread if the girlie photos stay in that thread and the sexist comments stop throughout the site

calgarybornraised - voted to keep but moderate and has a problem with sexist attitudes throughout the site in the context of you-don't-know-hockey-because-you're-a-girl (see Wastedyouth's post following this one for Exhibit A)

nyah - doesn't have a problem with the existence of the thread or most of the photos and said it does nothing to deter her from posting, but dislikes some of the commentary

misteeks - didn't comment on YLYL, but noted that there have been hot guy threads

minnie - posted in the thread, but gave no opinion on the topic

I'm sure there are some that I missed, but, either way, there are a lot more than 8 women who post on here, and their opinions should be taken into account.

Wait a second, you thought my comment was serious? I'd have used green text but I have heard most women are color blind.



Thats a joke
