I think you have it backwards. The mods have determined they'd like to curb sexism on the forum, and YLYL was deleted as a result of this. I don't think anyone thinks it is "delete YLYL, sexisim will be gone".
And I think it's more than just pictures of women. - it's the general lack of empathy and respect that gets shown when someone has a differing opinion. Or, to put it another way, that women don't feel welcome here when there is a obvious attitude of objectification or lack when women are brought into a topic here. It's the dismissive responses when it comes to the YLYL thread. Or the generalizations of "women are attracted to a-holes that drive big trucks".
It always bothers me, as a married man, that when someone posts a topic asking a question regarding their gf, daughter, relationship, etc, several comments seem to be "pics?".
We, as a diverse community, wouldn't accept a thread about how people of a certain race act or do certain things, or if it seemed there was a bias against them. So, I'm not sure why we can't listen and respect the opinions of women and adapt policies and guidelines when it's clear people have concerns.
It's not about the scourge of political correctness, it's about respect and doing what's right for those in our community.
