The bigger question here is why are someone's looks in any way shape or form relevant when questioning their ability to do their job?
I mean look at me, I'm a fat and hairy, heavy metal fan. If I make a decision for this site that doesn't work out, am I expected to have to put up with people saying "that was a terrible idea - he was probably too busy wondering how many kebabs he was going to eat after work" as fair criticism? Is this a "crossing the line" case because its commenting on someone doing their job (which I don't have a problem with as long as it's civil), but would also be considered personal abuse of a member on the site?
In fairness, you work with in the internet, your appearance is to be expected

Seriously ..
Men don't get criticized for how they look when they are crap at their jobs??
Gerry Ryan was called fat or ugly almost every time I heard the guy discussed as being a useless presenter.
Everytime I hear our very own Taoiseach get ridiculed, his looks are brought into it.
When Bono is brought up as being a prick, inevitably he will be called a midget or a short-arse.
They do for both sexes, are your eyes really that closed to that?
They do for both sexes, but certainly moreso for women. Those are just a handfull of men that have been picked out that are commented on due to their appearances. Any critique of a woman, just about everytime her appearance comes into question.
''Pics or gtfo, Is she hawt, I'd hit it, I wouldn't touch it with yours, she can <insert innuendo> my <innuendo>, face like a bag of boiled rashers, who cares what this ugly munter has to say...''
All fairly commonplace comments on threads about women in their professions in AH. Just about every one of them in fact. So by and large women bear the lions share of dismission and ridicule.
It is fairly hard to have any sort of serious discussion when a woman is at the centre of it.0 -

With regards to the "hawt", "pics or gtfo", "i'd hit that", men are generally just more honest than women, that is all.
We say what we mean and you don't need to join Oprah's book club in order to figure out what it is that we actually want.
Women do make these same comments in AH though.
As for the ugly comments etc, I have no time for that crap and I myself have never called a woman or man 'ugly' in my life and so I have zero respect for anyone else that does.All fairly commonplace comments on threads about women in their professions in AH. Just about every one of them in fact.
After Hours is a lighthearted current affairs forum where sexual innuendo is undeniably and unashamedly alive and well.
There are three guys to every gal and so inevitably her bewbage will come up in the conversation, that's the nature of the place.
If what you are implying were true in general though, then the politics forum, the photography forum (etc etc) would all be the same, but they are not.
It's not socially acceptable for women to just start talkin about how men look and if they would shag them etc, but you ALL think the same as us and you know it.
Some women can admit that and some cannot, as they are generally comfortable with their feminist agenda as it makes them feel superior to men if they can just pretend they are their sex is ridiculed and oppressed based on looks whereas men are not.So by and large women bear the lions share of dismission and ridicule.
I don't agree and as tbh has acknowledged that he has banned users for speaking about a man in this fashion and I you don't have to look too hard to find other men also who being ridiculed for their appearance.It is fairly hard to have any sort of serious discussion when a woman is at the centre of it.
You said it

Some (or many) men also seem to have this strange affliction where in groups they discuss whether they'd "tap that" or not in relation to women who wouldn't have them if they were paid large suitcases of cash up front. Perhaps less a case of honesty and more a case of too little blood running through the hippocampus. All of which is terribly off-topic I'm afraid...OutlawPete wrote: »LMAO
