Yay or Nay 176845

[Hants_red]

This thread should be renamed Yay or Yay in my H opinion.

Is that 'H' for humble or honest?

Hairsplitting.

Always find the wide set eyes attractive, yet when the appear on the sides of her head they do appear somewhat weird.

Your invitation is cordially rejected. Turning a blind eye to objectification isn't a solution to the problem. If it bothers you that someone points out to you that objectifying another person might not be OK, perhaps you ought to ask yourself why that bothers you and whether your behaviour really is as OK as you thought it was when everyone was just joining in.

What bothers me are the professionally offended who look to find fault in everything they think should be viewed otherwise. There’s nothing wrong with objectification - men have fancied women and women have fancied men since the year dot. So what. Go and take your hand wringing somewhere else.

I guess your invitation wasn't cordial after all.

Simply fancying someone isn't objectification, Ant. 'Yay or Nay' threads are.

You can't take the caveman out of the man : we know that if we removed constraints the world would be even crazier and more dangerous. But we have progressed since the age of the caveman and are constantly trying to improve society, for example by not disrespecting people just because they are different from us.
I'm sure in the past I have made some kind of comment on the yay or nay threads but I have come to realize that evaluating a woman based on her look is no longer appropriate or
relevant, the same as making tools out of flint is no longer relevant. I think we guys (most of us are probably not exactly George Clooney) must ask ourselves who we think we are to sit in judgement on women based on their physical appearance, and how we would feel IF our photo was posted on a website and exposed to all kinds of comments.
So, I'm sure some will think this is sanctimonious carp, but we need to use our better instincts, not our caveman instincts, and adapt to the times.
i vote NAY for the YAY or NAY thread

Out of interest I looked up the first picture on the link. She's 16 in that. Regardless of where you stand on the threads in general, this one probably isn't appropriate.

The threads are fine, just a bit of fun and the people are in the public eye being objectified all day every day anyway

If I was earning the money they were, put my pic up and ladies can say what the heck they like about it

Stop being bothered on other peoples behalf

Can we have one for Steph McGovern please.......................
