Yawn.

Just some little girls who have no self esteem and who need a bunch of anonymous guys to fawn over them in order to make themselves feel important. It's kind of sad, really.

Ummmm.... what am I missing here?

EDIT: nevermind, I see now. *eye roll*

I'm missing something as well but then again I'm from Australia so what most people here call soft porn is normal on our beaches.

hum, I'm missing it. Can you point me in the right direction so we all can...err...criticize that thread?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. I'm with Dawn, really sad indeed.

Not even just a bunch of anonymous guys, but I would think most of the one's who comment would be old enough to be their father's. LOVELY!

It's the "Critique Our Position" thread in the main forum for anyone who doesn't understand what we're talking about.

I wouldn't call it soft porn and I enjoy watching g-g action as much as the next woman , but it's a bit desperate to post it on ST.

No shit. At least we need a bad script and worse lighting.

Anyone order a pizza? ;-)

Bizarre. And calling becca out as a "jealous biatch". Crazy chick fight (except becca's not fighting back).

Wow! I thought the guys on this forum had more class than this, guess I was wrong :(

Sadly mistaken.

If I ever see either of them in a race...I might DNF from laughing. There's something to be said for not caring what others think...there's another for far too much self-confidence...and nose jobs.

Meow.

I doubt that's the case. People w/ real self confidence don't need that kind of false validation.

By the way, who is this Becca girl that is mentioned every now and then? I've been in ST just for a little over a year, so I guess I missed something.

I think maybe seh still lurks. She had a thing for Bjorn and posted something about giving him naked photos if he ever won an IM. At one point she did post her boobies.

Correction. She posted pictures of someone's boobies. Whether they are hers or not is up for debate. And I think I still have those pics around somewhere on my hard drive.

Well I wouldn't have claimed those if they weren't mine.

"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

"meow"...? LOL...I just searched this thread and I see what you all mean. Except, and I cannot believe nobody has mentioned this, that one girl in brown looks totally pregnant. I'm sure she isn't, at second glance it is just the way her top drapes , the angle or she has a bit of a tummy. However.... in a forum of fit , healthy, buff, young people, I would hardly call those two a couple of standard bearers.

So..in the interest of being catty, I would add, "Is that the best you can do?".

"I wouldn't call it soft porn "

Doesn't suit my definition either. What are they supposed to be doing any ways? Wrasslin'?

"Wow! I thought the guys on this forum had more class than this, guess I was wrong :( "


You must be new here.

Such hypocrites...

This forum was set up for women to discuss topics related to the sport of triathlon. Everyone, men included, is welcome to post a related topic or respond to any topic, however, posts that are not welcoming or supportive will be removed by forum moderators and you may be banned from posting in the future. Respectful debate and discussion to increase knowledge is the key to a great conversation.

LOL!!!

Respectful debate and discussion to increase knowledge is the key to a great conversation.

That's exactly what we were doing. We had a respectful debate about you and your need to post that picture. If you want to see disrespectful posts, then we can start a thread in the LR about it.

I'm sorry that the only contribution you can make to this forum is to post pictures like that or to criticize this thread. I'm sure you have much more to contribute here, but I doubt we'll ever get to see it.

She is correct. There are numerous examples in this thread of posts "that are not welcoming or supportive". Just a bunch of jealous Womens slinking off to their little club to bad mouth a younger more attractive female that likes to have fun. She appears to be having a good time at your expense in the real forum.

to be honest, if this was a debate, there would be some critical theory gender analysis and how that thread is representative of the misogyny that characterizes society in general.

but there's not.

who's going to lead the charge??

This forum is not professionally moderated. It has moderators, but they have normal lives and jobs like the rest of us. The way this forum works is if someone has a problem with a post in here, they can just PM the moderators and then something will be done about it. Not every post is analyzed to see if it's appropriate. It's up to the posters who have problems to make it known to the moderators. If TriSherry has a problem with what is being written in this thread, then she just has to PM the moderators to do something about it.

I think it's quite funny that she posts a thread such as she did on the main forum, which was clearly just done to get attention from the guys there, and then she is upset when some of us call her on it. So what you're saying is if I'm at all critical of her, then I'm automatically jealous? Give me a freakin' break. I feel bad for her that she needs to do that in order to feel good about herself. I hope that one day she grows up enough to feel good in her own skin. Until then, if she posts it, then I'm going to comment on it.

who's going to lead the charge??

Who can be bothered to get really riled up about something like this?

The real question is whether TriSherry is really a woman or not. It's possible that it's a guy who snagged a random picture somewhere...it would be a shame to be criticizing some stranger who doesn't really exist.

Yea you really called her on it by running behind her back to your little club where your clique can enforce the rules as they see fit. I imagine she feels fine about herself and given she has been a member of Slowtwitch longer than you and never posted a pic like this before probably doesn't really crave the attention. This is one of those threads that will lead to nowhere good and should never have been started - bad decision by OP.

clearly you missed the part about how the thread and the attitudes displayed in it represent the wider problems that females face in america today.

You're missing the point about the moderators. The rules are enforced the same for everyone. If TriSherry has a problem with this thread, all she has to do is speak up and PM one of the moderators.

This isn't a clique. Everyone is welcome to post. Even you.

Someone doesn't know how to read a calendar. Trisherry registered on 12/18/03 and has 48 whole posts. I registered on 4/2/03 and have 3,878 posts. What was your point again?

take this post for example.

it starts by belittling your feelings - a common practice in the objective/subjective construction of the male/female dialectic that prizes emotional detachment over emotional involvement - that you find the objectification of women offensive. it then continues by portraying you and those with similar views to yours as a marginalized fringe group - "your little club". it then finishes off with the implication that discussing ones feelings - a "female" trait in the male-female dialectic - is not acceptable in male-dominated society.

clearly you missed the part about how the thread and the attitudes displayed in it represent the wider problems that females face in america today.

I'm sure there's someone out there writing a dissertation as we speak on this very topic. Or better yet, using a government grant to write about it. :)

You know, now that I think about it, I was probably too harsh in my criticism of TriSherry. I do think her post is a bit sad and I wish she didn't have the need to post it, but I'm guessing that she's probably just young and foolish and is looking to have some fun with the guys on ST. Pretty harmless, I guess. I know that I did lots of stupid things when I was younger (yes, I'm one of those 40+ folks that Trisherry was talking about) and I'm just glad the internet wasn't around to record it for all eternity.

Ooops you are correct - you have been a member longer however my point that she obviously does not have a propensity to post pictures of herself given her length of time here still stands. Anyway lets move on cuz both of us have better things to do and will never agree on this.

Uh...I have no idea why you addressed that to me as I don't speak French....I better head back to the main forum to view some more porn and female traits that I actually understand.

nice attempt at obfuscation: calling me french while retreating like a frog.

well played, sir.
