Like having a weird midsection and no calves.  (See above)

Never said I'd not partake, just not part of the "oh look it's Kate Upton's Boobs doing something" crowd and don't find it post worthy.   Many many many other boob-holders out there that would get me "up votin'" so to speak.

[disclaimer - before any of the sensitive types out there get their panties in a bunch, I did not say all women are nothing but "boob holders."  I married one, woman and boob holder, so I know for a fact they hold more than that.]

But passive sexism is just plain stupid and wrong. It's embarrassing - someone created a post about Kate Upton for no reason than to imply she should be offered up as a sexual prize. That's beyond stupid and you're defending it. Why? It wasn't even clever. This isn't an SJW thing, it's a decency/modern thing

You just gave the baseline argument used for "she was asking for it dressing that way." I think you can be professionally attractive and not be asking for "we should offer her for sex hurhur!"



I'm not worried about Upton's safety. I'm bothered there are board members who think shit like this is on topic and appropriate

Kate makes a lot of money on her (heretofore-thougth-to-be-impossible) body and is constantly implying her sexuality over as big a media landscape as she possibly can.  A little joke over her being a "prize" can be expected.

For those who find the joke offensive, you're probably right, but I doubt Kate would get too uptight over it, especially given its completely fictitious context.  Still, as a general rule making jokes about getting sex as a prize is a bad idea (unless it's with your wife/gf.  then it's fun)

Lighten up, man.  I believe we get your point.  

However, when Ms. Upton is doing her Mercedes ad, and is dressed and acts seductively, you don't believe she was selected because of her expertise on the dynamic aspects of flame fronts in the car's combustion chamber, do you?

You are missing an extremely important point here, whatever she does and how she wishes to portray herself is based on WHAT SHE CHOOSES!  She has the right and ability to say yes to what she is comfortable with and no to what she is not.  All the photos and video out there of her are what she has approved of so lets keep it proper around here, as she is an attractive women, but not anyones sexual toy and to suggest that is not appropriate for this type of forum - there are plenty of forums out there where you can go.

Mods - please consider deleting this thread.  I know, the EGJ wants censorship.

No, the people who are using SJW in this thread are tired of people like you and the person who started all this of making a mountain out of a molehill

The hasn't been any crimes against humanity here. Nobody has threatened Ms. Upton. Nobody has been profane or crass. Calm down womyns studies majors -- we have not set back suffrage 100s of years based upon men ogling Kate Upton.

It's a freaking joke. Lighten up. You and Geaux_Blue represent everything which is wrong with forum comments on the internet.

Social justice on the internet is also about phony outrage and talking down to people. Sure, people can act like they do it for altruistic reasons, but there's also a "hey everyone, look at how socially conscious I am" vibe that goes along with it. #CancelColbert is a good example.

Here's the thing: Geaux_Blue was right. The post is a bit creepy. Then why don't we just say it's creepy, downvote and move on? That's all that needs to be done. Nah, let's make him out to be a womanizing monster instead. 

Righteous indignation is a drug.

Where did he say "use"?  He said a few minutes in the chamber.  Which she's doing in the picture.  Which is consistent with her product - namely, herself and glamour.  It's like suggesting "maybe Zingerman's will give him a few sandwiches."

People like you take a valid social issue and go so far overboard that your objections are tedious and neither instructive nor productive, which I can only assume is your intent.

I think the problem is in your mind.  I pictured Jim bouncing around in zero gravity with Kate Upton.  Sex never entered the equation.  She is an admitted Michigan fan.  My mind never went where yours did, until you brought it up.

I agree that the assertion about JH in the chamber with Kate is distasteful, but there aren't any pics directly posted...its a link, clearly stated what is on the other side of it, and you don't have to click it if you don't want to.

Your feelings are warranted, but we know where you stand.  So pull the throttle back a bit, okay?  Its Friday.

but other than a tasteless joke, the OP didn't do anything wrong IMO.  Its a link, not a picture and the content of the link is obvious.  You don't have to go there if you don't want.  MAYBE a "NSFW" label is missing, but that's about it.  If you click on a link that says "world's sexiest woman" and you had no clue what you were doing, that's on you.
