I'm sure you do.

it is without your realising based on an assumption that the 'type of girls' who pose for the piuctures are worthless and not capable of making their own decisions and thus need 'protecting' by people like you
If you're going to join in, at least take the time to read what I'm actually
writing - ref. all parties involved, yada, yada, yada. I'm not talking about
the women depicted, but how posting such pictures on a forum like this
doesn't make any sense.

in fact I think there is a good argument that they are the ones exploiting men - think about it for a second - men are the ones who are dominated and crippled by their own sexulity enough to the extent that we are so easily manipulated and stripped of our money just by the mention of sex or pictures of sexy women
Certainly. And yet, the women in these "pictures of sexy women" only
account for a small percentage of the total female part of the population.
Women working in the porn biz are not exactly in majority, and since male
sex drive is what fuels the industry, most women are not cashing in on the
male defined ideal woman - on the contrary, they're actually paying for it, in
the perpetual struggle to look "hot".
I'm
not trying to pose as the Great Saviour of Women here, but try to
imagine how it would be if you were an average Western woman, who
happened to be a Live user who joined the forum. Comprised by "average"
woman would be the constant reminder (by pictures such as the ones in
question) that you aren't good looking enough for the male members. Would you feel encouraged to keep browsing the forum when constantly
bombarded by such pictures? (No, I'm not saying that the people posting
and hooting about the pictures are in real life what they profess to be, but
the online persona is the only persona we get to see.)
I know that trying to offer an alternative view on this on a forum like this is
like trying to convert Iran to Christianity, so I think I've said my final word
on this.
