I don't know, if you ask me, after reading the discussion on the poll thread and now this thread, your example above seems to be exactly what people want to see end, with regards to pervasive sexism. As was said multiple times throughout the poll thread, the YLYL definitely had some bad commentary in it and may have contributed to sexism on the forum, but people seemed to be more upset with the commentary throughout the forums on a regular basis.
It would seem to me, that the new modus operandi going forward will be no objectifying/derogatory posts towards either sex. We'll see how that evolves as I expect it to take considerable time.
