Eyes on the World

Argue with dictionary.com. That's their definition. They did not say only against women. And sexism, in my experience, usually does refer generally to women.

I believe the term used was hot. Not attractive. There is a sexist difference there.

[NeoCracker]

Its just more common towards women, except those stupid femanists. There sexist. The extreme ones anyway.

[Shlup]

So would a "Post people you find attractive whether they be male or female!" thread be acceptable to you?

No there isn't. Maybe if it was "lets post pictures of those creatures that ammuse our penises, as there is nothing else they're good for" rather than "HEY LETS POST HOT GURLZ!!!!" or whatever, it would have possibly been sexist.

[McLovin']

What is the big problem?

EDIT: I see.

[NeoCracker]

Or how about the exact same thread in general chat with Attractive instead of hot?

[Del Murder]

fsp, it would probably be wise of you not to get involved in these discussions anymore.

As I understand it it's not up to the staff to say whether or not a thread is appropriate for EoEO versus GC; it's up to how serious the poster would like to be. If I were to make a similar thread I'd make it in EoEO so I could report nik when he posts that retard in the car picture.

Didn't people stop caring about sexism in the 90's anyway?

This is what I want to know.

omg, Shlup made TWO good points in a row. I think quitting staff allowed her brain cells to flourish for the first time in years.

In situations such that this, it's more like the 70s. Now being unable to climb the corperate ladder, that's a horse of a different color!

[NeoCracker]

I would like to take this time to bid farewell to FAIL, who was banned before his name was no longer on the news member list.

Back on topic, why havn't me or SHclups questions been answered?

[Shlup]

I'm inclined to agree with you. Though I do try to keep my mouth shut for fear of feeling like a traitor.

[Del Murder]

If your desire to discuss the attractiveness of celebrities is really that large (or, probably more accurately, your desire to 'stick one to the staff' [precious, precious pride, we must let you soar]), please do so in GC, and tastefully.

Leeza felt that that thread was not in conjunction with the tasteful and serious tones of the eoeo forum, and I agree with her, and that is why it was not allowed.

Up to a point almost all subjects are permitted in EoEO, yes. However, the final say does come from Staff.

If I were to make a similar thread I'd make it in EoEO so I could report nik when he posts that retard in the car picture.

The thread was posted in EoEO, but I do agree about nik. Although I don't think that he'll be posting that pic ever again.
