Sex sells, and society knows it, and exposes it, I don't feel there was anything more offensive in the YLYL thread than anything advertisers shove in our faces on a daily basis.
I understand the moderators made a decision, but I can also understand why some are upset by it, especially after the lengthy debate and poll, only to have what was the opposite of the poll results take place.

So because society-at-large has sexist and objectifying attitudes towards women, CalgaryPuck should as well? I applaud the mods for taking the opposite approach; instead of contributing towards the problem, this site is now rising above it and taking an active approach to make improvements.
