As the culprit who started the 'rate the Swedish women's team' meme in a moment of flippancy, I'd like to apologise to the whole world for inadvertently causing the thread to overflow once more with pointless feminist posturing.
It wasn't entirely accidental that I used a rating system based on DoI scoring; look at the women on that show, and you'll barely find one whose first qualification for a career in show business wasn't her pleasing looks. If you want to get on a moral crusade against sexism, it would be better to start with the whole of Hollywood, television and pop music, where talent is no substitute for a 'great set of cans' if you want to get on. To waste as much time and effort as some obviously have on a little internet backwater where a great many of the supposedly objectionable posts are made by people whose intent is already to satirise 'Neanderthal' attitudes demonstrates a complete failure of a sense of proportion.
If you really object to men rating women, get thee to a nunnery. How the hell do you think we, alongside pretty much every other vertebrate species, select prospective reproductive partners? And of course, the reverse is true; females rate males, although in modern humans the rating is often less directly correlated with physical attributes.
