The Borders Of Decency, Breasts, And A Little Fun. Ladies?

don't click on it?

doesn't work that way, when they see the word boob in a thread's title my niece's interest in climbing was replaced by curiosity and then anger when she clicks and sees the pictures

Lol yes you keep saying that.

"Reilly's statement is pure fantasy. We NEVER had lockerrooms together with the boys. What an utterly silly idea.

All the stupid excuses for the right to be a sexist.... It seems to me as many have been blunted by the sheer amount of sexist posts.. I wonder how that constant appraisal of female member's bodies might feel if one has lost a breast due to cancer, for instance?
Some posts are inexcusable, like to have the gall to comment upon a another member's body, for instance..Not my achievements, not who I am, but how I look like. Go to hell, is my answer. It's plain by a multitude of posts that achievements by women come second to their looks in the view of many men on the Taco.

As I see it, the management of the site doesn't have any problem with a sexist agenda from a very loud group. They allow a lot of harassment, lies and false judgements towards women, but they banned the woman who protested against women being seen as an objects. Not the men who treat women both in general and as fellow members as objects they have a right to comment upon. There has been sexually insinuating comments regarding underage daughters of several members, including my own daughter, and nothing happens to the members who makes them. They have by their way to manage the site shown that female members are considered as second rate members. It's hard to see any other reason but that the management of Supertopo agrees with, or have themselves, a sexist view upon women.

There's a difference in culture among northern Europe and America, and it's often grossly misunderstood. As is the theories that I wouldn't mind the boobs thread, because we see bare breasts on the beaches etc. Which, by the way, isn't the truth. It's unfashionable since way back, but no big deal. If you were here 30 years ago, yes. Now? Ha!
We don't mind nudity or sex, but strongly dislike porn. There's a strong sense of porn being equal with criminality, trafficking and prostitution. It's dirty. Not because of the sex, but because it carries along so much other bad things. I mean, one can see sex on the regular television, but it's not porn, it's usually either in a film or in a documentary. Sex isn't seen as bad. There's an easily seen difference which image is mere nudity and which is exploitive of women. And what's posted on the Taco, is exploitive images, not just nude people.

It's strange how a thing like this reveals a lot about some people. I guess I known all along, but didn't really take notice. It's such an oldfashioned view to take, it's amazing how they haven't kept in touch with how things have changed. Sexists are like the racists of bygone days. They're fighting for their right to remain oppressive and chauvinist. Nowadays nobody questions a professional because of the skin colour. But sexists, they're still back in that phase, in a way of thinking of bygone days, when it comes to women.

Yes, I left because of a personal reason, the boob thread and the general attitude towards women on this site. I don't belong here. I feel no need to be subjected to an oldfashioned and loud group of losers who scream loudly if they may not flag their sexist attitude in any given thread. But I don't fight windmills, I got other things to do instead.

I do miss the decent people though, even if they're awfully quiet sometimes. See you in the autumn!
