quite a mythical story of it. it is all about making people look pathetic yet, they wear it as a badge. remember, it was valentine. people were getting along and enjoying themselves. i had a really long valentine thread and people were saying, a thread... where only nice stuff. not a single nasty post. yea du.

you know

having fun

couldnt have that.

the funniest on that is 6 months later they still run around yelling me me me, i did it. three weeks long, when reality is a couple days. (soon it will be a 2 month ordeal). when most of the mess was the men deciding it was time for boob threads in gd, to put women in their place and skinner and earl actually stepped in.

that... is what the mens club, and a couple women see as their win. i cannot guess how many times warren has brought that up, to bask in his glory, in the last couple days.

now. what is it really saying? what is his purpose? he has nothing else but to poke with a stick, si cover, 6 months ago? how many of us were even in the thread. it is the example that it was not si or the cover. it is using a womans sexuality to attack other women as a tool. creating a hostile environment, mans space, with naked women. like a place of employment allow men to put their porn on the wall. that was the discussion. not si. and certainly not the poster of the OP. that took it to a feminist issue. and, if warren and the others do not want feminist to talk about feminist issues, like men creating hostile environments with naked pictures to put women in their place, in a space, then a progressive board is the wrong place to be.

that is kinda like fox saying, .... oh women, take the cat calling and harassment and let men be men. that would be the discussion. not the is cover.

(maybe i got pulled into the thread. kinda remember a poster putting the onus on what girls wear. i do not remember)
