double post

Would you appreciate that type of thing?

I can see your point. The issue can also be that purely text based communication looses all the body language that can make a what in conversation could be perceived as a cheeky comment come across as rampant misogyny.

just out of interest should I hunt down the poor, deluded and obviously mental dog walking lady who made comments about my nice lycra clad bum and slap her upside the head for objectifying me? 😯

I’d absolutely love it if someone (male/female I’m not fussy) wanted to admit to enjoy following me up a hill.

I’m dry humping the monitor if it’s any help.

I do understand tazzy, but we also have lots of people complaining about the lack of women who ride. It’s just that it’s not that much of a surprise sometimes.

(or maybe it’s because I’m stuck in a room of geeky blokes all week!)

You don’t think you could turn off the video camera before you start next time, do you?
The words not and pretty spring to mind.

Nice image yeti 😀

I cant say i find the thread offensive, I work in engineering so a completely male dominated industry, often mistaken for being a secretary, no im your mechanical engineer actually……

The following up hills comments i took as no more than banter, it was when back door comments used to flood this place that i took a step back from contributing.

Most blokes I’ve met have been ok. Couple of times I’ve been on the end of comments but GF gives as good as we get. Had to pull her away once. LOL

From 2m 10secs…

Yummy those buscuits were nice..

Ohh look another packet..

Don’t these type of threads just end up in the “not all blokes”/”not all women”/”not all humans” are the same lecherous nonces who belittle each others gender..

My my we’ve still some way to go us humans.

Can I assume that this type of behaviour isn’t limited to the cycling world? There are always going to be juvenile blokes with no self confidence who blurt this kind of thing out to try and mask their insecurities.
The main difference with the forum is that the comments linger until a complaint is made, and then you risk being bullied for being a snitch.
