Seems like threads permitting handsome male runners is permitted, so one would think mods won’t be sex-discriminatory enough to delete a similar thread for women runners.
So who’s your cutest female runner pick?

Someone complained we deleted this thread but kept the men's thread up. I said it's because men take being objectified better than women and men are unlikely to develop an eating disorder. But I guess I'll let the thread stand but only if you post a positive post. You can nominate people you find attractive but not be critical.

Uh, men have eating disorders too and eating disorders have little to do with looks and more to do with depression and anxiety.
But anyway, as a representative of the LetsRun female population, I personally don’t have a problem with “cutest runner” male or female threads. The problem is most of the ones about females go straight into vulgar territory. There’s a difference between saying someone is attractive and what some threads derail into.

I find Emily Sisson very attractive. The fact that she’s married makes me feel kinda scummy for saying that, but OTOH if she were a major celebrity I’d probably think nothing of it.

Gabrielle Jennings is very pretty in my opinion.

Such a ridiculous thread. Get RID of it, Johnsons! Someone should start a thread about which Johnson brother's Johnson is prettiest and see how long that one stays up before it is deleted. Never mind -- they'd both like the free pube-blicity.

This thread has no place on a messageboard that supports our athletes, supports the honor of our sport, and supports the right for this runners to be taken seriously and respectfully for what they truly are.
The Brojos need to stop groveling for the clicks, put it back in their pants, and get this off the boards.
And that excuse about there's one about guys is just a classic example of two wrongs not making it right.

No, that's not it, Rojo. It's not that men can take being objectified better than women. You make it sound like women just need to toughen up. It's because, in general not just in sport, men aren't objectified or judged on how they look. For example, men never get accused of only getting a job or getting promoted because of how they look, but it happens to women all the time. It's like how people complain that white people can be victims of racism too - yes, people can use racist language towards white people, but there's no history of white people being oppressed by other races. It's different and it matters. Seriously, the Brojo's should ask their wives if they've ever felt judged on how they look and how often, I bet they'll be shocked by how often they've felt that way.

Absolutely incorrect. Men use their look and get jobs because of it. Look at Hollywood, sports people get branding (Ronaldo, Brady, Federer etc. all use their looks to earn).
If it's ok to make a "Who is cute" about men, then it's ok about women. End of discussion. Rest is just doublestandards.
