OK. I get it already. There's more than one stunted adolescent mind @ work here into T&A big time. Big T's at that. Any females here feel offended by this constant stream of semi-degrading photos of unrealistic bimbos? And a bunch of affirming grunts and cat calls from the hard ons in the peanut gallery? Or just pee'd off that the 'boys club' can't get enough of chix in hot tubs with the realistic proportions of Barbie? Hey! who cares right? After a while women just won't want to post or get advice here as the Common Denominator is at a continual Low.

Show a pic that produces actual thought or discussion. This is really starting to bug me. I come here for advice, information and options regarding my hot tub. Not pictures of bikini-clad, cloying sexist images.  If you want porn - go to a porn site. Neither am I a prude - it's just starting to look increasingly stupid to have some bubbles around a bathing suit or vice versa. On every pic o' the bloody day. It cheapens the site. And don't tell me to mellow out. There's nothing wrong with balance in the portrayal of women as well as our water.

So, don't click on "pic o' the day" then.  What, are you expecting pictures of jets & motors?

Also, the only actual nudity I've seen on this site was a GUYS butt.

BINGO

semi-degrading photos of unrealistic bimbos [

You just called them bimbos.  How much more degrading is that?  
Please show me where posters have "degraded" the people in the pics of the day?

How are these pictures "Degrading"?

Why are the women "bimbos"?

I will tell you to mellow out. How dare you chastize the board en'mase with your a skewed eye focused on your own issues of sexuality and women and then demand no one dare contradict you.   The problem seems to be in your own limited viewpoint.

Perhaps it's just my stunted adolescent mind but, that pic certainly produced some thoughts in my mind.

By the way, some of the best input comes from the women on this forum. I don't see them going anywhere.

Boobies are  bad, mmmmkay people? Admiring attractive women might make other's feel bad and funny and confuse them  so the get angry and stompt thier feet.

Actually, this is a great discussion!

This is really starting to bug me. I come here for advice, information and options regarding my hot tub. Not pictures of bikini-clad, cloying sexist images.

RANDOM, I come here for the same reason and I must say that I've learned a TON from the helpful people here, male and female alike.  This is a wonderful forum to share ideas and questions about tubs!  

I've also seen a lot of silly posts - as well as some that got downright nasty over issues that people take very seriously (let's use FF vs TP for example).  I've seen lots of irrelevant posts too, but they tend to add levity to the forum.  All in all, I think that we've got a good group of people 'round here and most of us aren't out to offend anyone.  

I can't speak for the other males in the group but I don't come here to "oggle the babes".  At the same time, I do open the pic of the day posts, knowing full well that I'm likely to encounter a bikini-clad model. And sometimes I laugh at how artificial they seem. Sometimes the pics/comments make me sad but most of the time they make me smile and I go onto the next post.

I know that my Y chromosome won't allow me to speak objectively about sexism.  But I can say that we all have different tolerance levels for just about everything - including sexism in advertising - and in conversations.  It's too bad that this pattern is starting to bug you and that you're not enjoying the site as much because of it.

It's a good bet that you won't stop people from posting pics like this so I'm genuinely curious: do you have a solution to the propblem?

Would adding  "BIKINI Pic of the Day" to the subject line help you avoid the images you'd rather not see?

[drewstar]

Silent,

That was a lucid, well thought out, polite response that made several valid points.


We'll have none of that here.
