'Harpies', 'shrews', 'hags', 'prudes'... (HOF THREAD) [View all]

Last edited Tue Feb 18, 2014, 03:22 PM - Edit history (1)

I know it's always been popular to see how much of this shit one can get away with here, but it seems like during this most recent affront to the social acceptability of the sexual objectification of women, there's been even less effort to be subtle about it.

Did I miss any?

Can you imagine what that pinned thread up top would look like if anyone bothered to update it as often as it was warranted?
