Commuting in a short dress - Recommended!

My comments were aimed at you and not TC. I used her as an example as she is the only female CC member I have seen a photo of.

It was a reaction to the thread and not the OP.

You used her comment to support yours- all I'm asking is how her comment supports the one you posted?

You've failed to answer this.

well, to go back to the beginning - there's a market (of sorts) in pictures that pry. And, as we know, because so very many people use photobucket and facebook and the like, a photograph or a video (of anything at all) can be wrenched out of whatever context it aspired to and be whizzed around the world in seconds.

so.......going on about videos of women in short skirts is a bit iffy. It's paying court to this market in concupiscience (I may come back and think of a better word than that......). I imagine that the thought of an intrusive image of yourself bouncing around the ionosphere, and coming to rest on a thousand screens is not a happy one.

I think TT's reaction to some of the posts made in this thread is perfectly sensible. It wouldn't do any of us any harm to think about it.

I just noticed the photo I posted earlier of a fully dressed girl on a bike was deleted.

The thing sticking out between her legs was a BIKE SADDLE.

A BIKE SADDLE.

If it was that big a deal shouldn't I at least been given an explanation?

I didn't use her comment to support mine. Seeing her post reminded me I had seen a photo of her and thus my post.

What photo was it? Mine is still there!!

I think that works both ways. Jokes can easily be misinterpreted as misogynistic comments.

Eg. Based on the one photo I have seen of TC I'd say she is a very good looking Lady. Is that a compliment or a creepy comment with subtext?

Are you sure you didn't attempt to use TC's post to back your up?

I am 100% positive.

It was a girl in shorts riding on a bike with a tan coloured saddle, which if you looked at it with a certain mindset might lead you to believe the young lady had something sticking out of her shorts that a lady shouldn't have.

Why do think that?

AFS, you really should have followed your own counsel rather than, yet again, pretending something was posted as a joke and then making it obvious that you are merely hiding behind that excuse.

And those who consider sexist jokes and comments to be appropriate, then cogitate a while on the difference between a conversation or a text message and a posting on an internet forum.

As I said earlier, I wonder whether the person who asked for the up-skirt video would have walked up to a stranger and requested something similar and, if not, whether they'd care to suggest why not.

Obviously not family suitable

ttcycle I think you brought your own preconceived ideas and negative experience and applied them to this thread - thus making it much more sexist than it was ever intended to be. The thread was started by a female and some of the first contributions were female - all posts were in good humour! (I agree that maybe LOCO's video comment was too far but it was made worse by subsequent comments)

 

[ttcycle]

Ok, If you say so but reading the flow of postings, this doesn't look to be the case but I'll take that as said.

There have been several people who have said that some of the comments have been a bit below the mark but why are you only questioning about my response? Think about that? And before you accuse me again of being imbalanced, have a think first.

Norm - Are you a physiologist or psychiatrist. If not please do not take it upon yourself to make assumptions about the meanings of and motivations behind my posts.

So I would know what I had done wrong and be careful not to do it again?

If I hadn't decided to look through the thread from page one I would have never even known it had been deleted.

I think 007fair has just answered the question you asked me no my behalf.
