What does it matter if they look like your girlfriend or not? Plain Janes don’t deserve the same kind of defense? What were you saying about ego-stroking in a previous post?

Or are you defending the honor of Rue M?
(Which is fine btw. I’m not trying to sound ageist.)

Sure it gets a little boorish at times around here. But, you take a group of MOSTLY soccer moms aged 18-80 it would be just as boorish. I mean come on…you know it would be.

50 shades of whatever…the 20 something dude from the cheese-tastic Vampire movies that played the werewolf with his shirt off…etc
…and that’s just the stuff that I’ve heard some of ‘em talk about at staff meetings.

Oh my god can we please stop. This is a basketball recruiting thread, not a corn website. The fact that I feel uncomfortable just to have this forum open right now while sitting next to my gf while we try to enjoy a show together is disgusting.

We’re not in the 1970s anymore, stop talking about women like objects for your pleasure and let’s get back to recruiting. Please.

@Dan you’re probably asleep but please help lol
If you think your girlfriend doesn't get together with her friends and make comments about men, you are pretty delusional pal

How the heck are we supposed to know that they look like your girlfriend?!? If you're going to make such strongly-worded statements then you need to provide pictorial evidence. Of your girlfriend. In a pose identical to one of pru's NLs. Then, and ONLY then, can we fully evaluate the situation.

Probably shouldn’t drag this out but I have a hard time letting things go. Fetishization can absolutely be based on just an aspect of your identity, rather than just a part of your body. For example, the fetishization of black women. You could argue someone’s age isn’t a strong enough qualifier for an spect of their identity, but then you’re applying a heavy amount of subjectivity to a definition you’re claiming to be rather objective.
Trying to decide if I’m ok with this because it’s better than cottage cheese and Podz.

Ego stroking? Or how about just the fact that they’re sharing pictures of college aged girls, like my girlfriend, in swimsuits talking about them like they’re objects of pleasure.

As annoyed by this situation as I am, this did make me chuckle lmao

Well, well , well.......................Little did I know my much improved daily life would cause so much strife among the IL..........

Sharing my personal life is my choosing and if you can't support me in my NL quest for beauty & brains , then I recommend you to putting me on ignore.....that way you are protected from such demeaning of the female body that I have supposedly done........

First off , I didn't make these beautiful ladies put on those skimpy bikini's .....They did that all by themselves ........I didn't coerce or bribe anyone to come on board and have some fun.....They made that decision all by themselves......

So who's demeaning who ???????............Prudes are everywhere........Liberals are everywhere.........It's a big world with a lot of idea's that just might be different than your ideas..............narrow minded folks have been around for centuries ....I experienced a lot of it when I grew my hair down to my waist in the late 60's.....It was my choice.........girls in bikini's is their choice.........I just am enjoying the scenery and sometimes much more.......As you can see most if not all of the ladies have smiles on their faces......And there you sit , next to your GF , with a frown........It doesn't compute.....it really really doesn't.......................

Finally , I share my good fortune here with my friends........................In the immortal words of the famous gif..............

False equivalence.

This forum isn't someone's living room or private area.

It's a public forum to discuss/debate University of Illinois' athletics.

Of course discussion veers off into non-sports-related subjects, cottage cheese, for example, particularly in the off-season.

That's expected and far different than Sedino's point.

I am reminded of time almost 40 years ago when I was at Myrtle Beach with wife, oldest son, and mother-in-law. I looked at a couple of young ladies like these walking by a little too long, and my wife gave me an elbow lol. Her mother looked at her and said, "Why are hitting him, he didn't make them dress like that" We are just bored, when there is recruiting to talk about on the recruiting sire we will do so. Please relax, no one is objectifying another posters girlfriend.

Sedino, I hear where you're coming from.

I've said this before when I've asked us to have an off-topic thread where people can talk about food and other non-basketball topics:

There are two camps of people on this forum. One camp sees it as a resource to talk about Illinois basketball together. The other group considers it a virtual men's locker room for Illinois fans. They'll do literally 100 posts about pizza, burgers, and cottage cheese. But then you bring up this topic and it's suddenly "let's talk about basketball".
