(8,175 posts)It seems for many men, yes. I wonder how they would feel if they were always being bombarded with photos of men's penis bulge and tight ass? Would it eventually start to make them think that women objectify them this way, or that they aren't attractive if they don't look like that?
The point you make is important and that is that this is a public place, so people should behave as if they were in a public place. The anonymity of the nets makes it very easy for people to not treat others with respect, and not treat topics as if there were women viewing them too.
It happens on many forums and I find it sad. I'm not easily offended. I understand that men will do this when alone with other men. I just find it sad that men don't see the difference between a boy's only crowd, and a forum that includes all kinds of women.
