The first day of Spring is March 20th
Tags:
Hey Dug, the feminist slams were against me cause i called a girl a feminist. But it was assumed ahead of time that i was just being a jerk where as i had already seen she was a feminist and from Vermont one of my fav states. Doesn't mean I'm not a jerk just means i do my research. ;-)
They stack better that way.

You are projecting onto me a tired stereotype about feminists (we hate sex and everything else that is fun) rather than listening to what I have said. I do not have a problem with anyone finding anyone else attractive. I am not saying that people who like looking at naked women hate or disrespect women. I am saying that women, and women's bodies, are not here for your amusement or pleasure. And I think that imagery such as what appears in this thread reinforces the entrenched cultural valuation of women as sexual objects.

Just curious but while you are busy hating fun does it ever occur to you just how ignorant and presumptuous your way of looking at things is? Somebody posts that they are happy spring is coming because they enjoy the nice weather and attractive women wearing less clothing and you immediately assume they are objectifying and disrespecting women.
Why can't it be that they appreciate pretty women but still respect them and have an interest in their brain?
I like pretty girls and am looking forward springtime coming not just for the weather but for the cute girls in spring dresses; am I sexist jerk?
My summer gear; better not find me attractive...
The Problem:
You're arguments thus far have been the worst kind of stereotypical feminist garbage. And your argument above is only true if you let it be true. You can see a beautiful women on a bike in the spring or you can see a commodity that has become devalued by it's very proliferation.
Women become objects in this silly game because they let themselves become objects. Your argument would be better suited for strippers and hookers. Those women say they choose to do what they do as an act of empowerment but usually are addicted to a substance or forced into it by circumstance.
The pics that have been posted thus far haven't crossed any lines as they have tastefully exposed just enough but no so much that it would just be porn.
As for offended I would think the most hurtful think i've said was that you needed to buy a sense of humor. So far still kinda true. And you were offended cause i said post of a pic of what you wear when riding. But I would hpoe you understand now that you misunderstood that all together.
