It doesn't need sexist threads for no reason other than woo T&A... At least a lot of other threads on here contribute in some manner.

Those who brought up the issue have no problem with the pictures. Only those who stir the pot. There are rubbish threads galore. Offensive ones as well(funnily enough some of those defending this decision when asked about their own favorite threads say "hey you ain't closing that down / I can call those "whoever" whatever I want / don't come into the thread if you don't like it). Yet in this particular thread they are on the high horse. It's laughable.

Yes, they might not have had any problem with the pictures. However, that thread is nothing other than a place to objectify women because of the nature of the pictures. You don't see any pictures in that thread of a random woman walking a dog or at a cafe. Mostly they are being posted as examples of them being sex objects. I don't see why that is necessary here. You mention other threads as being off limits even though those can be just as offensive. They are debates over concepts, ideas and perspectives, it's not the same thing as oooh she's bangable. You are falsely equivalating the two as being of the same standard and merit. They are not.

There is stuff said in a lot of threads that is actually very very offensive. Way more so than a few pics of some babes. Yet this is where the high and mighty crowd stand up? Guaranteed when their pet threads are challenged they will change their tune completely.

If there is stuff like calling people derogatory names or wishing ill on a particular set of people, than that stuff should be reported and dealt with appropriately. You can challenge a set of ideas and ideals without being a jerk, and have an interesting debate in a litany of threads, even in the hockey related ones. Arguing over concepts is basic to most discussions on literally any topic. What is the argument and discussion pertaining to pictures of women? What is the debate? There isn't any, other than stuff like the comments that were posted (0/10 wouldn't bang and the like). What does that contribute to anything on here?


There is nobody saying that you shouldn't search out such pictures if that is what you wish. Google is your friend. What does that contribute on here though to the community, especially when it takes away from the likelihood of a lot of women who might otherwise wish to contribute their ideas to this site because of the message that a thread like that sends to them as being okay here? We have all seen how each of EG Witty Firefly and Peanut have reacted on here to things and they are as far as I know the only women who've posted in these threads.
