[Closed] How many naked women does it take to build a bike

Maybe Rosa Parks should have just stood up and let a white person have her seat then.

Most pointless comparison so far.

Congratulations.

Most pointless comparison so far.

Is it? Care to explain why then?

Shep don't make me post up a pic of ours

Receptionist or Fireman 😉

Edging things nicely into Godwin's Law territory....

did rosa parks have great knockers and do page 3?

How many of the people objecting are female?

Not many, by the look of it...

how many female forum members are there?

Not many, by the look of it...

some of you 'hand wringingly PC' types are very sensitive

Back to the engineering firms where girls are dolly birds or 'wimin' on reception and foreigners are foreigners hey?

I doubt orange would allow the same calendars to be put up in the entrance for all to see.

so much so I don't know how you go about day to day life spending your whole days getting offended / upset. There's a lot of bad shoite going on in the world, how do you cope?

To speak out hardly means we are crushed and incapable of coping.I
If you would not put a calender in your office reception or your own front room then you know why we object.
if you would put them there then you are somewhat out of touch with current moods.

Quality 😆

The middle aged secretary that sits behind me at work has some hunky looking dude with his top off as her PC wallpaper...so what, good for her. i don't see any of the blokes in the office taking a strop / having a flounce...

Maybe due to the fact that there isn't a massive history (and remaining reality) of sexism against men in the workplace - e.g. women still get paid less for doing the same jobs.

Most pointless comparison so far.

I would hope you are intelligent enough to already know.

i take it you don't actually have an explanation for your comment, then? Ok. Thought not.

so it's not actually a 'pointless comparison' at all then. glad we've got that cleared up.

To be honest, the comments on here are much more interesting than the original piece, although I agree that it is mostly arguments that have been done to death.

Some people seem to be seriously questioning whether others have the right to care. If you don't care, that's fine. Most people would agree with you. But then, most people seem happy to walk through life rarely engaging their brain; pretending that nothing they do has any consequences. In fact, where and how you choose to spend your money is probably the most important political act you can make. The country we live in today was shaped more by the decisions we made about what to buy than any cross we may have made in a ballot box.

Anyway, Hitler would have made them take those posters down.

Right, we're done 🙂

Men like to look at knorks,
Women like to look at moobs.
Big deal, get over it.
Is this seriously the biggest problem in the world at the moment?

Hows Critical Mass going Mike?

The only solution is to ban it all.

All of it.

No pics of semi-naked women or men.

Ever again.

Anywhere.

I still remember people sending round emails with naked women on them as though it was entertainment. Proper oldschool email shit. 👿

Ban the mini skirt, boob tube, leggings, low cut tops, shorts, vests, skinny jeans, in fact, owt that shows off a bit of skin, lets just all wander round covered head to toe in cloth shall we, preferably black so the gawdy colours don't upset our eyes. 🙄

But the national gallery would be half empty!

I don't know, as I haven't been able to go along for the last couple of rides. I imagine it's going fine though, as it has done for the last couple of decades or so.

Good to know, i was looking at havin a go on the next london one.

BAN EVERYTHING! EVERYONE! NOW!

Aw! But I like my boob tube!

Too. Much. Information.

Anyone got Hora's email address? 😉

Double post.

Sorreee..

If it was meant as a **** you to woolly liberal Guardian readers then fair enough. But woolly liberal Guardian readers make up a lot of their market.

Woolly liberal Guardian readers are responsible for lots of the world's ills IMO.

I see no problem whatsoever that a factory full of men doing a manly job like welding and making stuff out of metal should have pictures of women. Personally I'd like to see a return to some good old fashioned values where men knew about being men, not moisturiser and man bags.....

...then went to the pub, downed 15 pints, staggered gome, beat the wife and swore at the darkies on TV too eh?

Those were the days...

nothing quite like putting words in someone else's [s]mouth [/s] post...

if you disagree with his point then rebut his point, not your extrapolation of what you'd like his point to have been.

Saying all this my new phone is already creaking from a great deal of hardcore porn content 8)

To be honest I hadn't really noticed. I see ladies wearing less in town on Saturday night.
Women have bodies,some like showing them. Get over it.

nothing quite like putting words in someone else's mouth post...

Its par for the course round here. I reckon most on here are secretly spin-doctors working for the gov practising their dark art here during their lunch-break.

Its laughable.

i take it you don't actually have an explanation for your comment, then? Ok. Thought not.

You "take it" incorrectly then.

so it's not actually a 'pointless comparison' at all then. glad we've got that cleared up.

It most certainly is.

All we have "cleared up" is that you seem to think a few harmless pictures of Women in the workshop, and probably a few Harmless pictures of firemen/pop stars/actors in the office (or any combination of those) causes the same Harm as Racial Segregation 🙄

nothing quite like putting words in someone else's mouth post...

I'd interpreted andyrm's post as being somewhat toungue-in-cheek, and responded in a similar vein.

i'm sorry if you took it that seriously.

The workshop is a grot free zone, find it all a bit sad, grubby and 80's.

There are still a number of MTB race series that have 'brolly dollies' wandering around in lycra handing out energy drinks 😐 which seems to be a cross over from the MX seen.

Hora.. can we see a photo of your vicious lil westie chewing your childs face off ...?

I, for one, think it's great that people can reform. For example, that they can learn to type and spell properly, without the need to resort to some silly faux-Cockney spelling. It's progress, I tell you. Progress.

Hora.. can we see a photo of your vicious lil westie chewing your childs face off ...?

I've got quite a few of your Mum and Aunt.. buckwild! 😯

It most certainly is.

If you believe so, then please feel free to post an explanation then, rahther than just spouting 'you're wrong' at something oyu disagree with.

What you seem to have failed to notice, is that I wasn't actually commenting on the issue of girlie posters in the workplace, but about certain individuals bemoaing the fact that others might want to speak out against something they disagree with. and then using certain language to denigrate those whose views differ to their own. I used rosa Parks as an example of someone who stood up (ok, sat down!) for something she believed in. A quality I greatly admire in others, even if I don't agree with their sentiments.

We live in the society we do today, with greatly reduced sexism, homophobia and racism, because some people feel it's necessary to speak out against such attitudes and behaviour.

Obviously some on here don't think that's important. I'm glad their views don't take precedence in our society over others.

My mum died when her vicious lil westie tore her face off you sick ****...Can we have some more Hora drama queen moments please today..it's been too long....

...then went to the pub, downed 15 pints, staggered gome, beat the wife and swore at the darkies on TV too eh?

Those were the days...

I wouldn't go [i]that [/i]far. More about the fact there was a time when we didn't apologise for everything we might have said/thought/imagined.

Ah, those will be the times when anyone who did object either had a 'chip on their shoulder' or were worrying their 'pretty little heads' unnecessarily.

Halcyon days, for sure...

Not me mate I was hand wringing apparently

Ps i think you meant to add some before the gender bit.

You are right back in the past when we were insesitive it was trully wonderful , then along came people who cared and then suddenly we had wars, disease and pestilence.

Its hyperbole central on here today

I wouldn't go that far. More about the fact there was a time when we didn't apologise for everything we might have said/thought/imagined.

Rowan Atkinson said it best in his defence of comedy to the House of Commons. True as well. Perspective..
