nice pussy wake up!

OHHH! SO CUTE!

Or any other naked sportsman photos for that matter?

Maybe its cos men are still the dominant sex after all these years and women are still subjected to sexism, objectification and inequality, even if not as bad as 50 or 100 years ago.

Precisely. Pictures of naked men just aren't quite the same, and don't automatically signify SEX the way pictures of naked women do. The rugby player posters are designed to sell you a product by suggesting that you too might achieve their musculature, whereas... oh, for example, the Lynx adverts have been using scantily clad women for years to imply that by buying this product you too can recruit a harem of pneumatic sex slaves.

And this is perhaps an example of the typical behaviour of the 'dominant sex' - to express approval or desire in terms of appropriation and ownership. I came across a rather tedious Facebook group where lots of men had posted pictures of Victoria Pendleton, and almost all of them were captioned "the future Mrs John Smith" (or whatever the poster's name happened to be). It amounts to little more than treating women as trophies, decorations, and status symbols.

Jesus that's a bad tattoo boke

SuperCat! Fucking awesome pic, I wanna turn that into a t-shirt... :D

Is it any surprise that men behave that way when both men and women judge male status in part by the 'trophy girlfriend' they have? I'm not exactly ecstatic that culture is this way, but it's not new and it's not restricted to western or capitalist cultures, and it's unfair to lay the blame for conforming with it exclusively at the door of males.

Vetiver by Guerlain, works every time... Tho' some of my female friends really love Lynx, pheromone-tastic apparentz...

Oh, I definitely don't blame men exclusively. In fact, I don't think it's worth blaming anyone but society. Phenomena like sexism are endlessly reproduced by the cultures they exist in. Men and women conform to expected norms of behaviour: men learn from peers, advertisements, and observation of society that they are meant to treat women as trophies; women learn in similar ways that they are meant to conform as closely as possible to very restricted notions of beauty, and that they have succeeded if a certain sort of man wants them as his trophy. (And he, effectively, will be hers.)

And this forum is society at work. People learn, by reading its threads, the acceptable way to fit in. (We probably all regret a couple of our newbie posts, made before we'd learned the 'rules'.) And, call me an idealist, but wouldn't it be nice if people noticed these regrettable currents in society, like sexism, and tried to curb them by refusing to go along with it, and refusing to provide yet another tiny nodule of influence that will end up embedding itself in people's subconscious?

I know, I know, and I know you're all nice guys. :-) But like I said, if people stopped having conversations like this, eventually sexism would die out. It could start somewhere as insignificant as this...
