    I’m no feminist but just a little tired of people deferring to a male for a question to be answered when the female is capable of answering it

    With the bloke though you get the correct answer instead of the opinionated clap-trap the woman tries to pass off as the correct answer ?

    I’ve just asked a gay friend what she thinks of the video. Would you care to guess her answer?

    Danny who ?

    Playboy bunnies are not evil , danny is not evil, hugh is not evil.
    Pornography is not evil.

    Congratulations!

    That’s now the third, fourth, fifth and sixth arguments that no one is making which you’ve managed to contest.

    Four more and you get the TJ & Fred Commemorative Plate.

    As defences of Hugh Hefner go, “hypothetical lesbians love his work” has chutzpah.

    All the people who agreed with stw stance , it is not because they have a problem with glamour models or the glamour industry , porn stars or porn industry or any one who views it.

    But have a problem with danny riding a bike near any of the above in case it puts women off riding a bycicle.

    I hope the waters continue to clear .

    I’ve seen porn with women covered in baked beans… it hasn’t put me off baked beans…

    Why exactly would this vid put women off riding bicycles ?

    Good man Chip, your getting closer. Well done.

    Our sport should be encouraging to everyone and not say girls do this and boys to that. Or indeed infer that to be the case as in this video.

    For me it’s the tacit support of an industry that maintains a ridiculous standard of what is attractive.

    There has been talk of ’empowerment’ for those that choose to be in this industry, but imo it is NOT empowering for women par se as there is still a very prescriptive view of beauty in this industry. Just look at the lengths some women go to to achieve this ‘standard’.

    Ahhh, but maybe it will encourage playboy bunnies to ride theirs.

    A good thing surely.

    Because, as one of the actual wimmin-folk I quoted earlier said, doing tacky waaaheeey-boooobies videos “further embeds the notion that mtb is a male sport”.

    Because it sets the expectation that women who are attractive should be covered in baked beans (I mean frolicking in the pool) rather than riding a bike. This is very frustrating to Those cool souls who want to ride/do ride.

    It’s not like this is a one-time thing. It’s pervasive in our society. It’s carp, let’s change it.

    Actually I’m pretty sure there is (or used to be) a “Playmate Xtreem Team” or something which did mountain biking, adventure racing etc.

    Not going to search for that at work though!

    See I just don’t get that… I can’t imagine how this can even enter a persons mind.

    Mrs Weeksy rides bikes, not often but occasionally… watching the vid won’t change this for her.

    You think correct sir. My adolescent self remembers seeing an article in MBUK about them a lot of years ago.

    seriously? how would that video put woman off cycling? no one with any sort of common sense or a brain would be put off cycling (trials riding more accurate) by that video. The wife watched it and never commented on the ladies in the bikini’a and neither did my 9 year old son. I didn’t even pay attention to them either as I was watching the rider. This stupid feminist attitude has no place in todays society.

    Don’t underestimate the influence that video has.

    After watching it, I started walking round town in a bunny uniform.

    I have to report to the police station on Thursday 😡

    Yeah, I can’t stand feminism – anyone who believes in it is an idiot.

    Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending a state of equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women.[1][2] This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.

    That’s why I mentioned it is all pervasive.

    Sure Mrs Weeksy won’t stop but she’s lucky she’sgot you to encourage her. There are many many other girls who are encouraged to be the girls in the pool without support to do other kick butt things considered non girly.

    Even my lass feels the pressure and she’s as hard as nails.

    Let’s not encourage it.

    Additionally it tells the boys watching this that, that is what they should look for in a girl. That ain’t helping either.

    I much prefer Danny Mac’s Jimmy Savile video.

    Google search it.

    Now that will blow the minds of the stw terminally offended.

    Britain’s favourite fiddling, Corpse Bride watching, Yorkshire Ripper befriender, as well as Jimmy Savile, all in one video!

    seriously? how would that video put woman off cycling?

    How many women are going to watch that video and think “Hey hot glamour models in bikinis giggling and gasping at my every move? That looks like the sport for me!”

    Or will it add weight to the overall impression that mountain biking (and trials) is a sport for blokes?

    I didn’t even pay attention to them either as I was watching the rider.

    How did you manage that then? Did you just close your eyes during the close-ups of bums and slow-motion shots of women frolicking in bikinis?

    What rider are you watching here?

    Hypothetically then, what video should women who are not interested in bikes watch to pique their interest and get women into bikes ?

    Hypothetically, any video that shows it for what it really is: a fun, challenging and rewarding sport that all genders can enjoy?

    Hey, be offended and outraged all you want guys, but look at your own lives before judging others.

    I bet some of you can’t even bunnyhop, let alone seen a lady in her undies.
