Crass Sexisim in Route Names

A woman could name a route absolutely any man degrading thing she wanted to, and I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest.

Its just me, a father of daughters, trying to shift his perspective just a tiny bit.

I did not say the naming of routes causes sexual harassment, I said accepting attitudes concerning sexism plays a part.

One incident of sexual harassment is the tip of the iceberg, what's visible above the water line. The rest of the iceberg is also part of the incident, just not as obvious. It's what's leading up to the incident, like naming a route some sexist crap, for instance.Accepting attitudes plays a part..

No one has even mentioned changing existing names, censorship etc. except the scared shitless haters.

Some people are so threatened when someone's trying to be less of an as#@&%e than they are..

If you think the issue is about a few route names that are offensive, that just goes to show how ignorant you are.

Morons!

And you guys are d#@&%ebags for hating on him.

What kinda response do you think you're going to get after your word choice? So you're either trying to troll us our well you're just and angry bitch (if you're a chic) or angry dick (with a little dick at that) if you are in fact a dude.

Offense is always in the eyes of the offended. It's a choice. This is all about the sensibilities, guilt, and shame of a few parents, really. It always is.

By the time a kid would be interested in picking up a cragging guide, none of this matters anymore. They're already well familiar with a world far more explicit than anything a climber could come up with. Welcome to the new sex positive.

The kids are alright. Protective parenting more often than not fails in its impossible objective. It also runs the risk of damaging the relationship - and thus minimizing the influence the parent is attempting to exert.

Want healthy kids? Nurture a sense of humor and an easy going nature that is not easily offended - by anything. If something comes up, encourage open discussion - of anything. They'll take the cue and, in turn, discuss things openly with their peers - and have a better chance of making healthier choices.

I feel with spider on this because I have two beautiful children growing up and I'm seeing the world through their eyes. And it pisses me off that everywhere, in this society that us grown ups have created, there are these constant reminders that, above anything else, men are horny animals and women are sexually objectified potential conquests.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

The OP's tone was insulting to start with. Or maybe we'll pretend it's not if we agree with him.

Hopefully your kids don't read your words on this thread. You're quite the vulgar, little, name caller. Some people might call it crass. Is this part of your solution?
