Super Hot on LetsRun: Will I ever log onto this site and not see a thread being promoted about women's looks?

Relax folks.

Women's butts in bun huggers.

Men NEED women. Women do not NEED men. The only power men have is over women is by indoctrinating them to believe otherwise.

Simple minded men make poor life partners.

Is it me, or are people who identify as liberals much more likely than conservatives to resort to personal insults when faced with a disagreement?

LOL. Women are only free to the extent they are now because man's innovation and survival skills allowed us to progress from the stone-age to the modern era. Without man, neolithic society would have failed very quickly.

rojo/wejo should have a lot more shame about the misogyny this site fosters.

rojo and wejo really aren't that smart.

That's because conservatives can win an argument on actual facts. When you are unable to you need to resort to distractions like name calling.

That would be nice. I would like to agree with a poster way back that said it is a very small population of LRC men that engage like this on the forums. It just seems that the first comment in every forum about a woman is something like "hot" or "pics." I like LRC to follow the sport of running and to check in on the training forums. It would be great if rojo/wejo seemed to care in the slightest that they foster a great deal of offensive content directed at women. They might not see it as their problem but that makes them complicit.

Why do most women wear makeup, dye their hair and spend a lot more money on clothes than men?

Why would most women do this if they thought it was demeaning to be judged on their appearance? It appears that it's unattractive, jealous females and politically correct, insecure males that aren't accepting the natural order of things.

Maybe the words beautiful, sexy, desirable, etc. should be removed from the dictionary. Remove all 'the politically incorrect' words.

I read once that men are turned on by the visual and women by sounds. (The words men use.)

From: An old straight, liberal San Francisco male. (Not that that has anything to do with it. Can't quite remember the Seinfeld quote.)

3/4 of those are a thread meme. I'm fine with deleting those posts, but it doesn't really help the situation.

While I agree that some posts are very offensive to women, there is a way to report the post as offensive. Maybe, you know, report the post?

Here we get into an impossible situation where one person's version of offensive is nothing like another. There's no right answer to which everyone agrees. And then you have the inevitable asshat that has to then spend a bunch of energy to make the obvious point that there are contradictions to filtering content more aggressively.

As posted before, there are PLENTY of running threads.

The threads and the popularity of the threads are merely reflections of the posters and readers of the LetsRun.com message boards, who happen to be predominantly men. Rojo and Wejo have no control over the content of the site they provide.

TxRunnerGirl is right -- men ARE simple, and what you are seeing on this site is an accurate representation of the interests of a typical male. It is no surprise at all that almost-naked pictures of a beautiful woman with an olympic athlete quality body is creating a stir in these forums.

Rojo/wejo put that original thread under "On the boards", basically blatantly promoting it.

What was it about the Olympic Village running out of condoms?

rojo and wejo could control this by (1) relegating all non running threads to a "non running" sub forum, (2) requiring registration to post, and (3) deleting the racist and sexist threads and banning the OPs.
