I'm a straight male, but I have to say Ryno has the shoulder shimmy to end all shoulder shimmys.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Creepy

That's and understatment - and I'm glad JLs worth and value is measured in terms of a shimmy.

Seriously?

Hi folks,

Please click a poster's avatar and select "Ignore" if you do not wish to see their posts.

At the end of the guidelines, there is the imploration: "we ask that everyone be treated with respect." Nothing screams disrespect more than objectifying someone in the manner done by the OP. If these remarks were made in a workplace, and I understand that they are not, OP would be visiting HR to discuss workplace rules relating to making comments that would constitute sexual harassment. At one point, I used the "ignore" function for OP (the only time I have ever done so on this forum). OP's posts, however, are still seen by others including new posters who may, heaven forbid, judge the quality of this forum based on OP's post. For that reason, I chose not to "ignore" these threads and, from now on, plan on calling out posts by OP (or anyone else) which objectify or demean anyone because of how that person looks, the opinion that they hold, the review they have performed.

OP's conduct is not, in my experience, indicative of the overwhelming number of posters on this forum. Letting this forum devolve into a sexist comments about females cannot possibly be consistent with treating "everyone . . . with respect."

Go figure , I start posting positive reviews and am now labeled a sexist

Just can't win

I think it was well known in many of her episodes JL was quite the dancer
( wild life explorer episode , club voodo , etc).

Am I to be blamed if in all the male dominant episodes, I recognize the this lovely lady

FYI I seriously just watched the episode for the 4 th time

It is sad that you don't seem to understand how demeaning your comments were. I hope you will try to understand.

Thank you, Jack.

demeaning?

Pump the brakes

The whole programming is filled with sexual innuendos and connations

Where were u during the great salty language discussion ?

Not for nothing back in the day it was considered a compliment to call a woman attractive

I guess in a gender neutral neutered utopian society we must be more careful

Oliver can thank me later for the extra 1000 hits he will get today

I can think of quite a few things that were acceptable "back in the day".

If you equate your comments to the simple teasing and banter that we all love from the podcast, you completely miss the point. Your post targeted a specific person and made comments about her solely because of how she looks. I challenge you to locate one podcast where anyone did this.

I think there is a difference between a lot of people thinking oliver is camera ready (just a recent example of swooning women) and the way you worded your excitement, especially the last sentence. It does cross into that creepy area even if you didn't intend it too.

 

[figmentofmyimagination]

Thank you, Jack.

I would thread lightly Steve

I have seen you lay it on pretty thick to our friend from down under

Anyone who doesn't understand the issue with these comments and objectification in general (ie acting like its the woman's fault for not being able to accept a compliment) I beg you to watch this super short video with an open mind. http://www.upworthy.com/sexual-objectification-what-it-is-why-its-damaging-and-how-we-change

 

[KathyTX]

Oh, for Pete's sake. (See what I did there?)

We have repeatedly instructed posters here to place those they dislike on IGNORE, yet several refuse to do so.

Enough of the drama. Anyone who insists on continuing to argue and insult other posters will soon find that they are no longer welcome to participate here.

I think Steve knows who I'm talking about

Thank you, Jack. As someone who is of the female persuasion, and has had to attend mandatory annual harassment (not just sexual - ALL "protected classes" - and if you have to ask what a protected class is, you haven't attended the training) classes for the last at least 10 years in a civil service capacity, I appreciate your post greatly!
