Insulting remarks about women’s appearances’ may well be entirely consistent with the thread topic, but this doesn’t make them any more big or clever.
Quotecelebrating someone's fitness may or may not be a good thing but ridiculing someone publicly for how they look is totally out of order whether someone on here knows them or not. is "bit muscly for my tastes" really loads harder to say than "she looks like she had cocks grafted on her arms"in that picture she looks like a nice climber - rather than a prepubescent annorexic with her pants up her arse - now i can appreciate boys like looking at the latter, but they can probably do so without dissing the former with quite such maliscious glee.

The idea of this topic is to celebrate attractive women, not to slag off those that you don't find attractive. Some of the comments about Lisa Rands are pretty out of order imo. This topic might be better off being canned, as we're constantly having to moderate misogynistic or just downright bitchy or nasty comments. To everyone posting such crap, please grow the fuck up.
basically if a woman remains petite and 'feminine' in her pursuit of a sport she is ok but as soon as the body morphs into something outside the norm (but far more appropriate to their chosen activity) there are cries of horror. essentially blokes can diet and train themselves into whatever state they please without fear of comment but women in sport who don't conform to a norm are singled out for ridicule.
Having an opinion is fine. Airing it publically when its something about them they cant change is otherwise.

You can't seriously believe that to be true? All I need to do is open my Arnold book and show it to most people and they'll make comments in exactly the same manner, male or female. This isn't the only example I can think of either.Was my comment offensive? If so, was it offensive when it was first written on Edu Marin crushes Simpsons 9a thread (I don't remember it being so)?Quote from: DobbinHaving an opinion is fine. Airing it publically when its something about them they cant change is otherwise.Like a blog per se? Come on...A lot of things written on this forum are done so with tongue firmly in cheek. I struggle to see the majority of users writing something plain nasty intentionally.If you're going to can this one then there are plenty of threads that exploit physical imperfection (I for one star with an impressive overbite in one of the gurn threads).Edit: It might be worth a couple of people reviewing the previous volumes of this thread and their own comments. I'm not arguing that potentially hurtful comments are right, but from what I've just re-read there is a LOT worse.
I think the main objection is the unstated beginning to the sentence. "She is in no way fit because..." which many of the comments on other threads lack. Anyway, is one not a gentleman?
