To those of you who see closing the thread as a victory for feminism over misogyny: I see it as a victory of sex-negative feminism over sex-positive feminism.
Perhaps it is the moderators' prerogative to eliminate anything sexy, but one of the major themes of the YLYL thread is that you don't need to be explicit to be sexy, so where do we draw the line? The thread fit the general society consensus on what is appriopriately sexy, and was shut down anyways.
