That's exactly the response I hoped for but I am surprised to see about half of you answered this way. In my, admittedly few months here, I have rarely seen a man do what you all say you would do when someone posts a scantily clad picture into a thread.

This board is mixed company also and while your wife or date or daughter may not be here, do not the women who are deserve the same consideration?

The article says "Men Must Champion Feminine Women". It doesn't specify that the woman be your own. You all agree that the behavior is inappropriate, even outrageous in mixed company. Do you protest when you see it happen here? Sources please....(grin). Or to you hold back, so as not to be pilloried as a prude, to remain on of the guys?

Could it be that the deficit of femininity may be related to a recession in the amount of true masculinity?

Since most of the offensive photos come from sites that my browser software automatically stops downloading, I don't see the photos in the first place. Since the software also screens out some material that really is not offensive as well, hitting the abuse button on material that I cannot see is not good judgement.

You make a good point. What makes a man more masculine is the way he facilitates women to be more feminine. If we do not honor greatest callings that men have of being husband and father, how can we say we honor the divine callings of wife and mother?

The pictures posted here on FR, and I never miss a chance at clicking on those threads, are much different than the pictures you would find in Playboy, or other such magazines. Like, if your initial question included Victoria's Secret catalog, instead of Playboy, my answer would have been to not approach the perpetrator at all. The pictures posted on FR are very much in the Victoria's Secret category. Also you, as an independent FReeper, are able to click away from the offending thread, which would accomplish the same thing as removing the offending reading material from the person in your scenario. Am I making any sense here?
