can't believe I'm replying to this. this is the worst idea I've ever had.
wouldn't it be nice if it was a bit less male dominated? or do you not like girls and bikes? oh wait, you do. but only with no clothes on. OK.
it's just kinda lame. I've met quite a few girls who used to post on this forum who don't anymore because they're fed up with the lame sexist bullshit all the time. I imagine they don't bother telling the men that, because you get the magnificent 'yeah but you're just jealous' (yeah cos we don't see pictures of naked women all the fucking time) or 'stop being such a man-hating feminist lunatic' (my personal favourite).
SO in conclusion: tags are probably not just people having a laugh. (it wasn't me by the way, I don't know how you add tags.)
hanyway I have the thread on ignore, so whatever; it was just brought to my attention that someone was taking a revolutionary stand so I thought I'd rock up and talk some feminism at you.
But I love you all, you sexist bastards.
Ha! Go member 18!
repped!
I'm all for sexy pix of women/men on bikes (I might have even taken a few), but it's all about context.
The conversation about sexism is often like the conversation about porn vs. art, you sort of just know when it's one or the other.
I don't know of any women who would be offended by the photos here, it's more about the context of the comments and atmosphere created around them.
This forum seems to have less and less space for differing opinions or people challenging the status quo (which has also been reinvented it seems), so it's nice that people like tricity are still willing to stand up and others are encouraging and appreciative of that.
