Lately i had become a regular contributor to the thread and other then the occasional "wow" or "yes please" i honestly can't recall of any truly derogatory remarks that were posted in the YLYL thread. Now throughout the rest of CP, i cant make that same claim but i fail to see the relation between policing the entire forum to deleting the YLYL thread. Although i do support the practice of addressing the sexism issue as someone has already pointed out to the act if a female was reference in a post, then often is the case the question of "pic?" soon followed which was never necessary but in my opinion, i just see it all as a fool's errand to think one can truly effect change to a person hiding behind a keyboard on the internet.
Even our city's newspaper has a page dedicated to displaying a different female model each day and i don't believe that it takes any professionalism away from the establishment itself.
