Maybe I'm wrong, but from the bits I've read about it, that's my impression of it. And people wonder (in other threads) why more women don't advocate that sort of behaviour.

Same "indecent" behavior has been displayed by that paragon of VC decency Mr. Steve G. too.

The fact that you are struggling so much is pretty sad.

Apparently there are people who are pretty uptight about posting public pictures on a public website. It's a distinction that is nonsensical to me.
