Besides, you link to a pinup calendar in your sig, which could easily be viewed as "sexist" to some.
Understood; I didn't actually think he was asking for pictures. It'd be nice if y'all could understand that those "jokes" can get kind of wearing when you hear them all the time. I've held my tongue in threads that turned into "I'd hit it" commentary, and jokes or not, it perpetuates the feeling that my value here and elsewhere is related to whether or not I'm hot. (Also, the pinup calendar is a project by women cyclists for women cyclists and proceeds fund an organization dedicated to helping women feel more confident about riding and fixing bikes and more welcome in the cycling community. It's actually funny you brought it up to refute my point when part of the reason the calendar exists is as a response to the way women are often treated in the cycling world, at bike shops, etc.) Anyway, I won't bring it up again. I like it here and don't want to make you guys feel defensive, but it would be nice if once in a while y'all would remember there are women here and it doesn't always feel great to see comments like that.
