Why else would they bare their booty in -20C weather other than a call for male attention to look at their "assets" (lol pun)? What would YOU call someone like that? Attention-whore? Sure, I'm fine with that term too. A lot is assumed by first impressions even if they're not always right. I'm just generalizing, I wasn't being necessarily sexist.
Would you don a bathing suit for the office? I doubt it. Some things are just inappropriate.. like shortshorts in freezing-cold weather.

I agree with you that they're attention whores, although to me that's still not the same as a slut.  Sluts are loose women.  Attention whores are just as likely to be teases; they want you to look, but then they act all offended because you've reduced them to physical attributes.  Classic strategy, impossible to defeat.  But that's all just my definitions.

My issue was the apparent contradiction of you generalizing about women in a sexist way (whether you say so or not), but in the same breath complaining about the chauvinism around here.  You're also correct about that, and I'll admit I'm one of the main culprits, but it seems pretty hypocritical to complain about it immediately after demonstrating it yourself.

While this is somewhat true, I didn't resort to objectifying them to a pair of walking breasts and ass like every other man on here. Also excuse me then while I correct the term "slut" to the term "skank" as the ones here don't get offended if a guy or two looks them over.
Also being chauvinist isn't necessarily what I'm doing- I'm implying a woman's sense of personal taste in life by the way she dresses- what she does or likes and dislikes on her spare time. I may be generalizing, but I'm not being a chauvinist. All you all are doing is pointing out how much you all can't get enough of a woman's sexual parts and the fact that it seems that's the only thing worth "appreciating" or noticing (chauvinism)- since it's the only thing a guy in this thread is willing to talk about! Nice weather we're having right? Yeah.

Anybody notices that in the word "Boob" the "B" is an aerial view, the "oo" is a frontal view and the "b" is a sideways view of boobs?

Shorts (not booty shorts) and a tank top that is slightly revealing but still very tasteful =  :omg: :heart


sun dresses are great too...

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Okay, I'm guilty of misusing the term "chauvinism".  It has, in my experience, been generally used to denote any kind of sexism toward females in a negative way.  There is a proper definition, and I don't know it.  But mostly, it's pretty stupid of me to accuse a female of chauvinism.  I did forget that you're a girl, and I apologize.

Still, I don't agree that every conversation around here ends up being about tits and ass, or that it's literally the only thing guys want to talk about.  I think you're sensitive to it and may perceive it as more prevalent than it really is.  True, it's probably the top subject, after music anyway, but look where you are: on a message board devoted to a progmetal band.  The male:female ratio is ridiculous, and the geek factor is way up there as well.

I know, that's not likely to change, either, at least not as long as the guys continue to scare the girls off.  I do sometimes forget that we're in "mixed company" and, as I'm sure you've noticed, guys do tend to converse a bit differently when it's just the guys, or if they don't think any females are listening.

I'm sort of with Kura. Not a huge fan of this forums near-obsession with boobs/ass etc tbh  :-\.  I understand it's almost never used seriously and normally just as playful words...but guys, really now. We know that being genetically male you have a natural predisposition to the female body, but honestly how often need it be discussed/repeated on a music forum? A joke every now and then is fine, but honestly what I see looks more like an obsession, almost mentioned in every thread. It's not hard to imagine why someone like Kura could perceive something a bit disconcerting about it.
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

I don't make many "boobs, ass, etc." posts here but I think that mostly all of them are done entirely in humor and are not to be taken seriously.  

And I've rarely seen them taken to a point of creepiness necessary of making a big deal over.

Are we on the same forum? seriously I don't see that much of disscussion about boobs certainly not in every thread. Besides, it's a joke like, 99% of the time.

Boobs.

....You must be half asleep when you're browsing, then.

I don't have a problem with these comments, because, well, I'm a guy. But if you take a moment to see it from Kura's perspective, I can absolutely see how it would be a bit frustrating and offensive.

oh, I know what. But to someone that might not be familiar with this forums sense of humor, it's easy to imagine why it would appear pretty childish or misogynistic. I don't really understand the sense of titillation some get when posting the words...but each to their own I guess. It's pretty common on the Internet anyway. But given this is a relatively mature and special interest forum, we could possibly do with some scaling back of stuff like that.

And I've rarely seen them taken to a point of creepiness necessary of making a big deal over.
 
Hmm, when I remember one of Kura's first posts in the 'post your pic thread' where the next two pages or so were quite creepy.  :-\ nothing that was a BIG deal, but it was pretty awkward to read, even if it's not about you.

I will echo the sentiment that when a girl posts a picture, it is pretty uncomfortable when a barrage of creepy comments will soon follow, but other than that.... honestly, I don't think this forum is that bad with the boobs stuff. It's nothing compared to how most men talk IRL, especially since this forum is kind of PG-13.

Hey but I'm ready to admit I wont win, there are too many penis-bearers on this forum lol!!  :rollin

It's not about winning here really, and this forum does need a woman's touch (in the most platonic sense of course) in many cases. Complaining about men objectifying women to a pair of walking breasts and ass and then using sentiments that reduce men to lesser beings isn't exactly conducive to your agenda. I'm willing to bet that the good number of those awful, awful, penis-bearing lonely hearts have at least some rudimentary understanding that there is a real person attached to the whatevers and unmentionables.
