In my pseudo suburban world, I think my wife is the only recreational marathon runner / aspiring tri-athlete that does not have "enhanced" breasts. These women gladly display said breasts all summer long. I have to resist the temptation to be lured into the underworld of HATE.
EDIT: I love and respect women, I love boobs ( but am actually a leg man) and now need to spend my morning doing something more productive. Peace out and stay positive!

Some of these women are hypocrites. Quite often they post pics of themselves climbing in rather skimpy tight clothing, very revealing. Hell if you got it flaunt it, I am not here to judge rather just pointing out what I've seen here on ST.

The obtuseness of some posters in this thread is so unbelievable I have to assume they know very well what they are doing. Obfuscating.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN SOME PEOPLE SEE WORDS LIKE "PEOPLE BEING BULLIED" AND COMPREHEND THAT TO MEAN "POSTING A BOOB IMAGE?"
The ISSUE is NOT about a person posting an image. It is about the vile reaction from a small selection of Supertopo people when asked to "tone it down."
Those few could have chosen to simply ignore those requests. To "not click" so to speak. But they can't fathom doing THAT! No! They have got to continue the assinine "I am not a woman hater because I like boobs!" mantra. Earth the Idiot:
Nobody has said "breasts are bad." N.O.B.O.D.Y.
Frankly, it shocked me a little bit to see someone upthread say that genetalia was "gross, because that's where..."

obfuscating with obtusivity? ... 'control and degredation' are not my words, I am asking for clarification and looking for a middle ground. I fail to see how that is obtuse. Really.

Well, I think it's fine that we can decide as a community to be more sensitive to each other and avoid things like boob threads.
It would also be fine to do away with name calling and reading into each other too much.
Nobody said breasts were bad, true, but they said plenty about how they are shown as being bad.
Nobody said women are "less than I" or "should be objects or slaves" either.
I never got the impression that drool was creepy or a perv. Personalities are different. Speaking and writing and expressing oneself are different too. Senses of humor are different.
On the other hand, Supertopo being a little more Wild West than other sanitized sites is part of what makes it great isn't it?

Too bad your teaching career was short lived.
Not for me, if I wanted to get crapped on on a daily basis by entitled brats and anti-union republicans I'd go work in a sewer.

Once more...(sigh)
It's NOT about the posting of (many of)the images, but the hostile response when asked to tone it down.
Some of the images were degrading, some were softcore porn, some were art images. Some here act like each and every one of those images was an artistic image when-quite clearly - the majority were not.

I haven’t weighed in with my 2 cents on this thread yet because it’s almost certainly an exercise in futility. But, in what is apparently a dried up, prudish, no-sense of humor sort of solidarity with my sisters, who I’ve had the privilege of meeting here, and love, I guess I’ll make one attempt.
I’m cross-posting this from Locker’s thread about Moosedrool:
I just personally don't find the whole SNL, leering "We're just a couple of wild and crazy guys" mentality very entertaining. Some people do, and, well, OK if that works for them.
This forum serves a couple of functions: information, community/connection, and entertainment, loosely but not exclusively around climbing and climbers. I just find it most interesting when there's a balance among the different functions and individual styles.
Do you remember those SNL skits? The two guys were trying to score with “the foxes” so they could fondle “their big American breasts”. And the women they were trying to score with were creeped out by them and got away from them as fast as they could? And we all laughed at those skits, over and over, because the mentality of the guys was so CLUELESS.
One more time: It’s not the breasts per se. We have them. We see them all the time. Yeah, bodies are beautiful, all bodies, male and female and in between, young and old. We totally get what sensitive art connoisseurs you are.
What I and many other people on the Forum, male and female, don’t get is the clueless mentality of you (whoever you are) not comprehending that your need to appreciate these specific images on a climber’s forum, over and over, and to have those images inserted in threads where the context is non-existent is too much. Like on the Supertopo Santa thread.
It’s just tedious and boring.

So, posting up boobies makes the poster a mysogynist, a hater of women, wanting 'control and degredation'?
no
but the women around here clearly don't like it
right there, simple enough, is all I need to know to side with them on this
and for that reason alone and no other reason, so should everyone
plenty of other internet web sites to hang out at if ya wanna click on boob pics

i thought that too. the male winner on top of the podium with the two pretty girls. although i may be so inclined to whore myself out to the winning female standing on the podium and be the stand in dude to kiss her...
MooseDrool is European and as such is a wee different. i wish i could use that excuse...
EDIT: go ahead ladies, use me as the piece of meat that i am. he he he...

I agree Ed, there ought to be a couple of hot guys kissing winning female cyclists!
The podium women are not only a European tradition but it is alive and well here in the Tour of California.
