(13,549 posts)one female posted it. Many others said... "take it somewhere else" and explained why they were uncomfortable with it. We can either listen to their feelings or we can ignore and fight for the right to.... post sexy pictures in GD????
I am a female. The pics didn't bug me. But people are explaining why they feel uncomfortable with the image.
I was talked down to by someone in another thread (quite rudely) on the side that I'm defending right now. For being silly. I'm not so prone to listening to her, so I get why people seem to want to put their backs up and capitulate. BUT... there are a lot of other women explaining why the images are disturbing to them. Can we not listen and maybe consider?
(The images are not what bothers me. It's the digging in of the heels and justification for posting the images that I find issues with.)
