I see there's another one [View all]
I never respond or start threads about "gender wars." Go ahead and search. I am not a flame baiter or attention seeker, and I don't initiate conflict or attack others.
HOWEVER.....after the SI cover thread finally died down, I see there's another featuring a scantily clad model.
So here's the thing....I don't think photos of nearly naked women belong in GD on DU. Sure, the men that post them have a right to look at them, discuss them, like them, etc. Was that ever in question?
But, this is a progressive board. At least half of the posters are females. Females see this stuff continuously in the corporate media, and it is very harmful to some. It creates poor self esteem for many young women.
Why do men have to post it here? Please answer that question. Isn't that what the lounge is for? Also, men have many, many other places to view and discuss these images.
It just seems to me that progressive men would show common courtesy and take their ogling elsewhere.
Why is it necessary to spam GD with it when it is literally everywhere in the corporate media?
