@!Nhattattack!
I think you missed nearly all of my points.
I don't think that because I was spotted as being an attractive female on a bike I'm about to be raped.
I don't think that by telling one girl on here that she is pretty that it is upsetting all the ones on here that aren't.
I didn't say that you were new to try and intimidate you or to put you in your place, I said it to inform you that this is a long time debate between the some of the men and women on this forum, in case you were wondering about some of the comments. I was not chastising you for having a different opinion, I was asking you to respect the opinions of others. I know that other women on here hold a more simular view to yours, but they seem to respect the fact that other women don't want to be commented on in this way.
I know that many women don't feel that comfortable on the forum, and no longer post here. I've said it before, cycling is a sausage fest, it would be nice to have one aspect of it that isn't trying to slam this fact in my face constantly.
For some, there is a difference between spotting someone, and spotting someone and saying that they were a hot chik. This is a spotted thread, your right, but just like when we are at drinks, or on a ride, or anywhere else in society, let's try and treat each other more equally.
