That is why it disturbs me. You have rules for behavior dictated by one sex to another...hmm....I wonder if that is one of the things they fight against also![]()

I get the fact that there are all sorts of things on the forum and they are not all to do with cycling but most of them are. And most of them fall within the bounds of common interest, humour etc and generally offend no one. Things that do offend people generally (but not always) get removed. The not always is more about lack of bandwidth by volunteer admins rather than some agenda, conspiracy or hypocracy etc
The question of what is in and out of bounds is a good one and is constantly under review - as you might expect. It is subjective - there will always be areas of disagreement. If we were really interested in supressing expressin we would delete this and all the associated threads - that's not what any of us are about.
And by the way for the record I have no problem with any of you looking at pictures of attractive women - just not here.
This is off topic (sort of - but not sure there really is a topic)
I do have a problem with people banner waving about freedom of speach and censorship. I am not sure this has really got that much to do with either but I get that some of you do not agree. The fact is that freedom is not just about freedom of speach it's about a balance freedom of expression, privacy and the rights of individuals. I am no philosopher or legal expert but I know enough to know it's more complex than just pulling on one lever and ignoring the impact on others. One person's freedom can very easily impact on anothers.
