I know this may be an unpopular statement, but I believe it is time to put Inch High Guy's "Women Warriors" on hold. Thinking about how many of these beautiful young women have been killed or captured just makes looking at their photos so very tasteless. Or perhaps Inch High Guy could simply stop including photos of any women whose countries are currently at war?

It does make TMP equivalent to the SUN newspaper of the 1980s.

Do a majority of TMP readers like this sort of thing? Who knows?

I just ignore it.

Ignore it if it bothers you. I don't open a large majority of posts as they don't interest me.

Problem solved.

I thought about Nick's concern, myself.

But, on the whole, jdpintex has the preferred solution.

Agreed nnascati.

I do not support these women warrior posts

We didn't close it down for the Ukraine-Russia War. Why is it principled to kill it now?

Sure, it's a bit gauche but you can and should skip it then.

Tasteless whether anyone is at war or not, which is why I don't open them.

I would agree this can be done away with. TMP does not need to be a high school boys locker room. The same goes for the nudes/semi-nude link that seems to be mostly posted by just one person. And yes, ignoring it is an option. But, do we really needs these?

nnascati Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2023 10:44 a.m. PST

Flashman14, you are right, it should have been paused then as well, of course it is an ongoing war.

Shardik18 Oct 2023 12:31 p.m. PST

I'm not sure why anyone would be offended. The women are fully clothed in uniform and half of them aren't even wearing makeup. There's nothing salacious about the pictures.

nnascati Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2023 12:45 p.m. PST

Shardik, really missing the point!

Do the women know they are being entered in a beauty contest?

Bunkermeister Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2023 3:12 p.m. PST

I am unalterably opposed to women in combat and never open these photos.

As one who does look at them every week, and appreciate pretty faces, do wonder and comment often for them to be careful and good luck.
If up to me woman wouldn't be anywhere near a front line, the attack on Israel shows why IMO. But women in the world's military are here to stay, nothing anyone can do about that.
Many to me seem promotion photos, a lot look like selfies, but all are done well and see no reason they should be stopped.

I swore off these when Russia invaded. They sort of drifted over from being glammy to creepy.

Run them, don't, I am indifferent.

Fitzovich Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2023 5:35 p.m. PST

Just don't open it if it bothers you, it isn't that tough.

Archon6418 Oct 2023 6:01 p.m. PST

If you don't want to look at the pictures, don't look at them.
I don't wish to be dictated to about what I can and can't view.

+2 to Archon64! Don't impose your values upon me! You can freely express your distain for them but to even suggest Bill not allow them is just another political infringement upon MY right to decide if I want to see them or not.

Pictures of deceased presidents, music or sports legends carry as much sentiment as seeing these fully clothed women who decided to make a stand for what they believe in.

Let each one decide if they want to click on them. Don't even imply you would deny us that right.

bandit8618 Oct 2023 9:33 p.m. PST

That's true, thought about that before but no one complained when the pretty Ukrainian, Russian and others were being killed. So you might as well take it down for good seeing that there will always be war and people will always die in war, pretty girls ugly girls, Men

First, this isn't posted on TMP but on a seperate blog so there is no need to discuss this here.

Second, don't like it? don't click on it!

Disco Joe19 Oct 2023 10:07 a.m. PST

Nothing wrong with showing them. As others have mentioned if you don't like it don't check it out.
