I was instructed by the against middle aged nerds that I had heard it from the horses mouth and my argument was invalid because of this.

Don’t make me post the picture of the human-shaped dried-out cereal stalks again…..

See my previous post. Obviously, the only folk who can determine whether a woman has grown up or has broken out of her conditioning is a bunch of guys on the internet.

Maybe it was just wrong because you fundamentally misunderstand the issue to the point of intransigence. Anyway, the ad-nauseum-eter is bleeping…

Bleeping? It’s effin’ melted.

That’s what got us into this mess in the first place

Speak for yourself

at least we’re not geeks…

It’s been worth it, if only for this

The attitudes displayed in this thread, people calling sexism and racism for such little provocation, are why crimes like the child abuse in Rotherham were able to go on for so long – people afraid to say anything because some idiot acting as the political correctness police would jump down their throats.

All youse should be ashamed!

It’s been worth it, if only for this

it kept the thread going for a few more pages…

Straw man and tbh your posts stopped being funny after the first few times you did this.

I’m hanging my head right now 😳 if only I was more tolerant to the use of half naked glamour models for marketing.

Does that make it ok?

it was ok before with just a couple of prudes moaning about models making a living (and enjoying it)

Why are those in favour of the calendar getting so offended?

your posts stopped being funny

THey were never funny?

But when a couple of women posting on here said they disagreed with it. I was instructed by the against middle aged nerds that I had heard it from the horses mouth and my argument was invalid because of this.

funny that eh!

Why are those in favour of the calendar getting so offended?

I’m not offended, people are entitled to have an opinion no matter how stupid or idiotic.

Fair point, I’ll leave you with yours

Fair point, I’ll leave you with yours

yip the freedom of speech is certainly not stupid or idiotic

Which begs the question why, if 4 perfectly balanced females don’t consider it offensive in the least, why do a bunch of middle aged mountainbiking nerds…?

😆 😆

1300 😀

Doesn’t look like 2k is going to happen.

Oh well….maybe next year 🙁

Who won?

Woah, slow down there, theres legs in this yet!

Just wanted to point out that it’s those who don’t like the calendar that really threw their toys out of the pram. In fact one advocate got so upset one of his posts miraculously disappeared!

Still you know keep making things up!

I’m off back to do those other things I mentioned 😆

the babes

So what would keep the objectors on this thread really happy – if all women were to walk around in hijabs ?

Does this semi-nude picture objectify women?

or does it just illustrate why she has been dominant in womens tennis for so long?

Or is this ‘sexier’ picture better ? :

Yes – that has promoted gender equality in Saudi Arabia.

And what’s the opinion on these Japanese girl pop groups – empowering for women or not ? :

I think the Maxxis Babes image is more desirable than that implied schoolgirl look.

Yeah, cause I made up those quotes I posted…

Actually, before you got there I’d been thinking back to the whole Spice Girls “Girl Power” thing.

No, not these ones

All these posts and you still have NO idea what we’ve been talking about.

Yes you were certainly a beacon of the way to calmly make your own point 😯

I think there may be some middle ground between the objectification and the [ perceived in the west] subjugation of women. What do you think?

I think the Maxxis Babes image is more desirable than that implied schoolgirl look.

I think very skinny models are better than heroic chic models but i would not say either is that great an outcome.

I thought it was too commendable that all of those girls were in the navy

oops heroic was heroin which makes a wee bit more sense

Mods – can you change the title to ‘the sisyphean thread’ please? Thanks.

*Applause for classical reference!*

I just wish it was funnier but plenty of threads are pointless

I dunno. “Heroic chic” throws up some rather ironic images….

I just wish it was funnier

Agreed.

but

Do go on….

plenty

That many?

of threads are

Are? Surely most are in the past, so your tense is wrong.

pointless

Punctuationless, more like. What’s your problem with a full stop, eh? Go on. What?

😉

its the least of our worries in that field 😉

It wasn’t so much the pointlessnes, but the epic levels of interminable circuity…
