That Maxxis "babes calendar" article…

I think we did the why such images of men aren’t equivalent on about page 2 or 3, and the discussion on how people weren’t actually taking offence (in the pejorative way you imply) on page 4 or 5, but I CBA checking.

Do your own research.

When you’ve done with that…

No you are!

I know this is late era. but if you close your eyes you can imagine its ten years earlier.

No, you are.

Can I just check, have people on this thread really needed to have it explicitly pointed out that binners is taking the piss?

I note that doesn’t mean he’s been trying to make you laugh, simply ridiculing some of the arguments.

Apparently so 😀

Not according to your mum 😉

Just not very well.

Including his own?

Not according to your mum

No that is far too advanced, that’s at least primary school level.

The scary thing is that you still don’t get it

I do get it.
Have you finished being a cock bullying me yet.

Sorry browbeating me with your superior wit.

Awwwww bless.

Just send me the bill for the therapy

Doubt you could afford it sunshine.

Do the people who see the calendar as sexist towards women also see the same calendar as sexist towards men?

Why are the mods not closing this? Is it because they are sexist/feminists that have a personal interest in it all? 😀

It seems like it’s too complicated for YOU to understand Binners, not the other way round.

You don’t understand the complexities of the debate so you post lot’s of silly nonsense to spoil the debate (with lot’s of implied name calling aimed at a poster who has a different opinion to you), which seems like forum bullying to me and goes against the forum rules.

No big deal to me, it was just peeps were getting on to the cumberlanddan poster and trying to corner him over a couple of words used (which I too had thought were being implied/acted out.) I don’t like bullies you see so had to speak up.

It’s okay though Cougar finds you hysterical and that’s all that matters. X.

I think Binners understands perfectly. He’s wound you lot up no end.

He’s been given lots of opportunity to use different words, but when I last checked he was still using the same ones and simply pointing out he didn’t mean the usual meaning of the word. Along with plenty of other not so subtle insinuation and failing to back up his claims. If he feels that this is bullying (he seems to have flip-flopped on that one too), then there was a dead easy way to get the “bullies” off his back.

I think binners understands perfectly

I don’t think he does, maybe if I explain my self through the medium of silly pictures.

FREEDOM to put up girly calendars on our walls?

‘Trying to corner’ him aka trying to get him to stop making things up and putting words into people’s mouths (repeatedly) that they never said. That’s bullying is it?

But the author of the article and other women who complain about sexism need to lighten up and stop overreacting?

Hmmm ok then….

😕

Whilst Madame is totally engrossed in Miss France and has just asked me who I’m putting my money on, 17-year-old junior is in his bedroom doing homework and I’m wondering what Binner’s footballing daughter will think of her footballing youth in ten years time – at some point most kids reject many of their parents’ values.

So as my two picks are still in the last twelve I’ll bid you goodnight and cheer for Miss Réunion and Miss Longuedoc.

I’m at a loss as to how Binners has “superior strength” unless you’re setting up a pie-eating competition.

This thread was worth it for that quote.

Is it? Is that exactly the reasons people think this calendar is unacceptable?

no its a massive straw man from the man arguing for greater comprehension and tolerance of others view[ whilst wanting interesting psychological profiles of people]….another one of the posters where you try to decipher if it is satire or stupidity at work.

You don’t understand the complexities of the debate so you post lot’s of silly nonsense to spoil the debate (with lot’s of implied name calling aimed at a poster who has a different opinion to you), which seems like forum bullying to me and goes against the forum rules.

How can he take the piss if he cannot grasp the debate?
Secondly I fail to realise how anyone can just ignore what glasgowdan has said re Binners that you can ignore his posts were were just rude. They have been posted numerous times.

trying to corner him over a couple of words used

Well if we need to understand the debate we need to understand why you lot – FFS when did we form groups?- are whinging like babies about bullying whilst ignoring all the other retors and bullying – ironically this includes the charge of bullying to undermine the other side whilst suggesting we all need a good psychological profile doing it. The word is being erroneously used .
Jesus wept some folk have been a bit rude about some other folk. if you think its one sided you are delusional and unable to read.

Is that Cilla Black in younger days on the beer label??

I don’t think he does, maybe if I explain my self through the medium of silly pictures.

eh ? you’re a homophobic antisemitic wife beater 😕

I like naked females!

I’m personally feeling repressed….

Hmm. In the interest of fairness i might have actually called binners posts bullying, though if you read the context of that particular bit of the discussion its only after being prompted to do so. So hats off to you on that one. Congratulations. Clearly your entire argument is proven correct.

Binners posts, which he my think are very clever, are just a load of noise designed to drown out sensible debate and paint others in a bad light. Not constructive, not clever just very very **** childish. His only attempts at a serious post are apparently satire. How convenient.

In Internet slang, a troll (/?tro?l/, /?tr?l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.

or that of the moderators it would appear

THat was a brilliant way of trolling
I salute that effort it really is superb

Well that was very graciously done. Apology accepted. 🙂

So you did it , even though we know, its because you were prompted. I dont think you have got this admitting you were wrong thing worked out just yet, You may wish to world on the contrition part of the apology noy use it as a method to try and undermine with sarcasm – remember you are arguing this is bad …again oh the irony

Binners posts, which he my think are very clever, are just a load of noise designed to drown out sensible debate and paint others in a bad light.

Yes you have not been building up straw men and caricatures of the other side now have you and have been a beacon of sensible debate.

Not constructive, not clever just very very **** childish. His only attempts at a serious post are apparently satire. How convenient.

Are you opset and suggesting we ban this?

1st rule of trolling? Call other people trolls.

Much crumpled laundry awaits.

grum – so that will be (slightly humourously on this occasion) quoting out of context again. If you can’t construct a proper argument yourself eh…

junkyard – you can slow down. I may have used the word ‘bullying’ but anyone with a basic knowledge of the english language and without an axe to grind knows there is a huge difference between what I said and complaining of bullying. But then again misrepresentation seems to be what you do.

Who’s arguing sarcasm is bad exactly? Or did you just make that up, again?

😆
I last opened this thread when it was on page 1 or 2
Briefly, I wondered whether I’d flick backwards through the posts from the latest one, and see how long it was before I found anything relating to the actual issue raied in the article.
Gave up; just don’t have the stamina these days. I took some consolation from the finding that it didn’t really matter that I was going backwards chronologically; there seems to be sufficient repetition that it works just as well that way round

Crack on – see you tomorrow evening
