And yet, that's the perfect example.
I don't find EG's avatar to be offensive. Or Peanut's, for that matter. But if someone did find it offensive...should it be removed? After all, someone has found it offensive. EG's also got a point about the 'girlie pic' avatars...they are the same sort that were in the YLYL thread, and thus, clearly make some of our female members uncomfortable/offended...so should they go? If not? Why not? If we're taking steps to reduce sexism (which is a good thing) why should/are avatars exempt?
