If I had the time,
I’d go back and pull many many many posts where women caught hell for literally posting the same comments or the same threads like guys.
Heck, we had a hunky fireman thread where half the posters were guys insulting our pictures and calling the guys gay. You don’t see that on the T&A threads. And I’ll promise you, that if I started a ‘Beefcake Thread’ like some “Babes” thread here, the response would be the same. Lots of flack, with an equal amount of THANK YOUS from the women.
The OFST were fun, but they got so heavy with T&A pictures that the girls starting posting beefcake pictures, in the same degree of skimpy swimsuits and yes, we caught HELL for soft porn pictures. To the point there was a semi-flame war and an agreement on both sides not to post ‘nekky’ pictures.
The ‘He’s Gay’ stuff is so redundant it’s almost cut and paste.
Most recently there was a very popular female freeper who was banned for posting ‘smut’ when the next day, the same threads she posted were being posted. And continue to be posted to this day.
Granted, that’s the choice of TPTB, but the double standard has been noticed and commented on, repeatedly. FR is called a misogynistic site by some conservatives on other sites. I’m on the fence, but I do lean towards an ah “yeah, kinda”
Guys can do things and say things and have attitudes here that women will be treated differently for....
Heck, there’s even an exposed nipple that got a lot of ‘hoo boys’ less than a week ago and it’s still there, when a thread about the females using vibrators got yanked... my guess is because most of the posters were females commenting honestly.
And yes, I remember the very first time I saw a woman post a cute guy pick in jeans with a small rip in the seat. The “GAY PORN!” posts were deafening, and one man actually stated he was shocked that a conservative female would post such trash.
OK, this thread has made me realize I need to archive and record. Research is my strong point and record keeping is what I do best :)
