Do you find the Babe Thread degrading?

[gotreg]

Do you find that the babe thread on this forum to be morally objectionable or objectifying of women?

Personally i don't feel it is morally objectionable or degrading. But i think it would be good to have a discussion (so i can learn some new perspectives on the issue perhaps ) to see what others think of the issue. So far only one member of the forum has expressed outrage and disgust about it.

Another good question: What do the females who frequent this forum think of this?

Of course NOT.
And if anybody decidet that this forum requires thread containing pictures of young fashionable exposed dudes, I don´t see it objectionable neither.

(but that is of course statement of common sence, not political correcntess rubbish)

A "pre-op" what?

I tell you what, you Google "pre-op" "girl" "Well Endowed" and see what you come back with

No thanks.

Of course its not degrading. It would be degrading if, after each post of an attractive woman, we had people talking about fantasizing about them, and wishing they could be with them because they're JUST SO HOT!
That would be degrading.

Do you find the Babe Thread degrading?

It is the way some people use it.

I personally see it and post in it quite differently, more along the lines of what De Lorimier and Dann said: "We're more on babe, [human body] and photography appreciation."

But really, if it offends you, just follow Simon's advice.

 

[sanabas]

Offensive? nope. Worth reading? Not particularly.

 

[Mirc]

No, it's not degrading IMHO.

 

[BCLG100]

No, if people dont like it they dont have to force themselves to look through it

 

[AceChilla]

Yes, do I mind, no

 

[Mathilda]

No, I don't find it degrading, I like it and post pictures in it myself.
In my experience good looking women like to show off their looks and like being looked at.
I can't guarantee that ever single woman whose picture has been posted in the babe thread has chosen that as their career with full options as their top favourite thing to do. But then I don't believe every bus driver has done the same either and I don't find anything degrading in that.
Looking at the pictures that Godwyn has posted of young girls in groups posing and having fun, I can't believe they didn't dress like that because they didn't want people looking at them.

In conclusion, it is not degrading because I believe (at least the majority of) women to have been posing in those picture willingly

To take it one step further...
If a woman dresses scantily and has the man in a state of tranfixation because of it, who is being degraded?

No, I don't find it degrading, I like it and post pictures in it myself.

at first I read "I like it and post pictures of myself in it" (yes, I know, sometimes I'm still just a adolecent boy...well, most of the time actually)

If a woman dresses scantily and has the man in a state of tranfixation because of it, who is being degraded?

we're that easily controlled aren't we? a bit firghtening, really, but at least it's being controlled in a pleasant way

"Well endowed girl" is not a term I'd use to describe anyone other than a 'pre-op'.

For females, it is generally assumed that the endowments are above the tummy and below the chin, not below the belt. For example, Dolly Parton would be classified as very well endowed.

Do you find that the babe thread on this forum to be morally objectionable or objectifying of women?

Yes, I do. The objectification of women was pretty clear from the comments flying around on the one or two occasions I visited the thread.

But it's not an argument that I'm particularly eager to have on this forum, and not something which bothers me sufficiently, so I just don't go to the thread.

 

[Flak]

Nope. Not one bit.

The question that comes in mind is :

Would you guys feel ok with a Male Babe Thread ?

Would you ?

I truly couldn't care less. On either gender's Babe Thread. Though I find the female Babe Thread fairly pleasant to look at.

There is one. But I avoid it. It makes me feel so damned degraded, I'm not an object

 

[warpus]

Degrading to whom, exactly?

Women in general?
The women who are in the pictures?

Of course you are, you're just not a babethread-worthy one.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

Of course you are, you're just not a babethread-worthy one.

True in itself.

Quite frankly I'm getting worried about the number of people refering to "Well Endowed Girls" and "Male Babes"
