You're being overly sensitive over pointing out two provocatively dressed women locked in arms with a man in a joking manner. You can't get any tamer than that. Worldly women aren't going to be offended by this. They're just hypocrites if they are.

Comparing this to Donald Trump walking through women's change rooms or sexually assaulting through grabbing them is laughable. It's even more surprising coming from isaidso who expresses himself as cosmopolitan and well traveled. The majority of the world is not going to be offended by the mere mention of sexuality.

Some Montreal forumers must be having a good laugh over these Puritan thoughts.

And I saidso has been to cities where can girls can do a lot more to you in a restaurant or bar than a girl can do to you in a Canadian strip club. (At least, legally. Lol!)

Sure. Or has he ever worked on Bay Street. Yeah, the tights, heels and short skirts still worn by many young EAs are totally appropriate for the adult world workplace and aren't, in any way, exploitative of men's desires. The post 911 security upgrades such as cameras and maglocks and opening the work environment with glass partitions around offices/meeting/conference rooms as well as dropping cubicle partition heights to desk level (eliminating overhead storage) or, replacing cubicles entirely with grouped desks still prevented casual encounters with co-workers. This is life. It's raunchy.

Have you ever considered the possibility that the lack of women posting on SSP might simply be because the vast majority of women just aren't all that into skyscraper geek talk? Hell, most men aren't into skyscraper geek talk, but there are enough of us to keep this and several similar forums going for over 15 years so far.

I highly doubt that if every dude on SSP who has ever made an occasional cheeky comment on photos showing attractive women stopped doing so and behaved like proper, respectable gentlemen at all times, that suddenly the forum would be flooded with female posters. Men and women are into different things.

So Caltrane you will be happy to hear that as I rode past the One tonight. They are making a lot of headway at the site. Massive dirt piles from digging and more machinery. I wasn't able to grab a picture but I'm sure others will this weekend.

Demolition of the buried foundations is going nicely. Shouldn't be long until its all backfilled and leveled for shoring.

Yeah this is spot on. Whippersnapper and Caltrane post decent updates on Toronto skyscrapers but let's reasonable - the misogyny has to stop.

Wow, has this thread ever veered onto a different tangent!

My take on the topic? Some people see thorns and others see roses. To me, it's just a picture, taken in a public location. People should be free to comment on the scenery...

RIP Manhood...

We will all be wearing skirts and pink nail polish in the future. Maybe that's the ultimate goal for the prude parade.

Of course, gunnar has to have his two cents.

Women do it to other Women and Men; Men do it to other men but, when a man make some shallow, in good fun, comment on a women's appearance (fashion sense or looks) it's misogyny. Gimme me a break! Bunch of politically correct prudes. I guess that is how the world sees us.

We'll just get Caltrane to take photos of hot man to actually make some lewd, offensive comments that no one will give their two cents on.

Doesn't anyone else remember back in the days when Chad used to make lewd comments about some of the men in posted photos? Several other gay forum members also did it...

I don't remember any outcry then...

Doesn't anyone else remember the comments that were made about the rather young girl in her bathing suit, with the Toronto skyline in behind her?

I don't remember any outcry then...

Seems to be a strange double standard here.

Include this as an unnecessary comment...

I just don't get the point of saying stuff like this in the first place? It adds nothing to the discussion

Simmer. Your kidding right? Many times here you see some guy with no shirt and a bunch of the former's go"WOOF". Not once a complaint. The second somebody likes tits you barf all over the pictures. Then you have the audacity to drag the Honorable President Trump'$ great name through the mud. Like you know him well enough to do so. Omg be bigger than that. Any adult can easily handle a picture of great tits. If you cannot then I truely hope you will not rune them times for those who can. Hahahaha
