Podium Girls

[Radchenister]

Perhaps we live in different worlds theclaud?

In my world the majority of people I know and associate with are decent and egalitarian, the 'doofusses' I avoid, not always possible I know but I certainly don't let them become the focus of my energy on this journey through life - you are free to seek to solve the problems you perceive in scenarios as you see fit of course .

I may be getting the wrong end of the stick...

Is this what you mean by a "hitherto unrecognised form of healthy omnisexuality that is not formed entirely within the constraints of a heterosexist dominant culture" ?

 

[theclaud]

Are podium boys the solution?

No. The solution is even more childishly simple. Which is just as well, given the standard of argument you are advancing.

I don't disagree, and as they are so decent and egalitarian they won't really feel too hard done by if they don't get to ogle a line-up of trophy birds every time someone cycles faster than someone else.

I'm deliberately using that sort of language to get on the Squid's tits. Which, I think we can all agree, are a magnificent set of norks, and I reckon Riflemansmith would give him one. I just mean hopefully things will continue to get better for young girls.

Which was exactly where I came in theclaud - those who see it as 'harmless' will just carry on regardless and those who see it as a 'problem' will be appeased - no prize giving needed ... just head straight home ... although who's going to announce who won the raffle?

So is Rachel Riley, the new maths person, from countdown a good role model or not?

I remember a work mate of mine assuming she must be getting the answere fed to her through an earpiece.

She is obviously a highly inteligent woman and yet the program (or her) do choose some 'provocative' clothing for her which results in a great number of the viewers finding it hard to concentate on her letters and numbers.

We already have a pet muppet who has practically copyrighted that phrase. He is tolerated and pitied, and regarded with a sort of grudging, exasperated affection, but I'm not sure there's enough of it to stretch any further...

I think I may be getting on your "tit's" more than you are my own.This is an internet discussion after all? With all the bravado and sabre rattling that goes with it.But to bring up some ones sexuality as a joke point is a bit harsh wouldn't you say? I mean really? some one that is all for equality using a cheap put down like that? Tsk.

As to the pity etc I really don't want yours or anyone else's for that matter. I don't think you are the kind of person I would associate with in real life nor any of your loyal followers, so there's no problem there. You have your extreme views and though I don't agree with them,big deal? It makes no odds.

I don't know, Doofus does seem to fit, anyway I'm not going to waste any more time on another 'common sense/stands to reason/it's only a laugh' clone.

Opps forgot about this one for a sec.

Yup used the common sense one...don't think I did the others? I'm not a clone either? Still not going to explain why rape and suicide go hand in hand with "If you've got it flaunt it?" Got any more gems you would like to bring to the table? Maybe how sugar on doughnuts is responsible for mass overpopulation or something?

Excellent, an off the peg insult for days when any sort of effort is just too much effort.

No not really.I think the description fits just fine but it is a Sunday after all .

To think that podium girls are ruining cycling for females etc is ridiculous to say the least.

Quite right. I agree 100%. It's sexist and lecherous behaviour which actually ruins cycling as a sport and a hobby, not forgetting day-to-day life.

I'm finding my percentage disagreement/agreement between SS and TC to be pretty close.

I 99% disagree with SS and 99% agree with TC

Still 1% in there though....nice!

 

[Radchenister]

But to what percentage of the population are you applying that agreement?

Just throwing this into the mix, a survey was don a couple of years ago on the exploitation of sex workers in the UK, and surprisingly, the majority working in the industry didn't consider themselves to be exploited. Now the reality is that we run the risk of projecting our own moral code onto those who chose this lifestyle, and that is as bad as any other form of meddling done in the name of religion or anything else....
