Why are girls being sent home from school to change shirts because the boys in her class won't be able to focus on their work?
Actually, boys not being able to focus is not the reason schools require girls to cover up. If a teacher is helping a student out (this goes mainly with male teachers) and sits beside them and they are having a plunging neckline or shoulders showing, it can look like anyone in the room that the teacher is checking out the student. If the student jokingly spreads rumors or a teacher or principal walks by, it could get the teacher fired because they're not going to risk a pedo/pervert working at school.
I am so tired of people (especially guys) who judge a girl because of trivial things like what clothes she wears, how she does her makeup, e… moretc. I am so tired of feeling like shit because I choose to wear a skirt or, GOD FORBID, a tank top. Ew, what are thoOoOose??? SHOULDERS?? Vile witch! Put them away! You're scaring the children! I grew up in a pretty strict Catholic household where I wasn't allowed to wear pants shorter than the knee or anything that made me look like I had any kind of shape at all. I accepted it. But I'm almost 18 now and I think I am capable of making the decision to wear what I please. But, as soon as I do, I get bombarded with nasty looks from my family and even strangers. I even had a guy tell me I was flat out stupid and was only good for one thing, not even marriage or a relationship.
I just don't get it. What makes it acceptable for men to go out in public half naked but as soon as a woman does it she's consider… [view original content]

I had been sincerely hopping that my thread about equality/gender issues wasn't going to escalate to a point to where it would need to be closed. I'm a bit confused as to why it was closed. Did it seem to be getting out of hand to anyone else?
It helped me to read a lot of other peoples opinions... And I appreciate everyone whom took time to throw in their thoughts about the issues.

Even though I'm attending a university and taking Jr. And Sr. level discussion classes, I still have better discussions on here than with people who are paying 5000+ a semester to be getting their education. But video games are probably better to stick to, that way we don't all have to be so serious and critical all the time. Lol
I don't think it was getting out of hand at all. Kenny/Lee copped some shit, but enough to warrant the thread being closed? Nope. I'm not really a fan of threads being closed without a reason being given.

I didn't think it was getting out of hand either. I've seen those threads that get down right vicious, I never felt like anyone was getting to that point. And what Kenny/Lee said wasn't bad, he was just expressing his opinion (even if many people disagreed) but let's not get this thread or any other involved in anymore crap like that and call it finished.
Maybe because most gender issue threads get closed anyway, perhaps precautions were being taken because the mods wanted to avoid a possible shit storm. (I don't blame them, we don't need more crap to bring any of us down.)

Haha, yeah, there are always good threads here on the forums. To be honest, I'm totally against these threads being closed for no good reason. I think they should be closed only when discussions are gettin' really out of hand and people are insulting each other. And it wasn't the case I believe.

I agree, this community is a really good one. I haven't ever run into anyone but maybe two people (a year or more ago) who made me scared to post. I understand why the mods feel it necessary to close certain ones and maybe mine was going in a bad direction... But then there's the crazy ones like the "Was the Holocaust Real?" one was closed for obvious reasons. -_-

Do you think the mods have been getting a bit more... aggressive (not sure if that's the right word but it's the best I got). Might be the individual moderators, but I once got into a very heated argument with a few other users, which completely derailed the thread (granted, it was my own thread) with 225 (I think that was the number) posts. The argument got flagged, and all we got was a warning. We went to an extreme, and got off with a slap. Now threads are getting closed when there's no sign of a shitstorm brewing, and we're not getting notified of the reason why. I'm not exactly a fan of this.

We did. It was first posted as, "Was the Holocaust Real?" Then after some much deserved crap, the OP changed the thread to, "Was the Holocaust's death numbers Over-exaggerated?"
Thankfully the Mod's caught it soon and the thread was closed.

There are a lot of newer mods, that could have something to do with it. Or there are posts in these closed threads that we don't know about, that broke the rules and were deleted. Whatever the reasons, it's safe to assume that rules were broken. What rules seems unimportant.

Because it was open and closed within a amount of minutes. LOL It was pretty funny though because there were the serious people like, HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT- and then those who took the opportunity to post their contribution to a thread waiting to be sunk... some of the posts were funny despite the stupidity of the OP.
Nah, there weren't any deleted posts in Supernova's thread. If you read the last comments there you'll see what possible reason they had to close it, even though I don't agree with it.

I was working on this PS3 model that I've extracted, then I figured that the reason why the head model isn't anywhere because the game was incorrectly extracted.
Now the program that decrypts the .psarc files (think of it like Telltale's .ttarch2 files which has the models and etc,.) so I can view the models would randomly close and won't do anything.

This has been going on for the past three hours.
Writing the biggest and most difficult History Essay I've ever had to write in my past 5 years in college. I'm freakin out, partially mad at myself for waiting so long to write it, partially mad at the professor because he made the topic incredibly hard and obscure to research and present in a 15 page paper.
Anxiety attack setting in. Nervous break down, about to ensue.
Don't go to college kids, it's a trap.
(No, go to college, just don't procrastinate. 0_0)

I have to find a place in or around my area, and write a paper about how it reflects the historically changing power relations between groups.
It's quite a challenge... My area has issues but nothing worth writing 10 - 15 pages about. ;A;

That... seems like a pretty specific reason for a trivial matter like this...

Lol, Woodbury giving the world some shoulder action and getting hated for it. Aint nothin' wrong with a little shoulder action.
I never played

Well, from what I saw it was being derailed pretty bad by an argument between two user. I'm glad it helped you though.
If it's the one I was thinking of, it didn't seem bad. I mean, people were heated but I wasn't sensing any hatred.
Maybe things like that are still too sensitive and issue to talk about. But I still appreciate everyone taking part in the discussion.
Geez, another thread closed down? I guess we'll have to stick to talking only about games then.

Fuck em, I like my serious discussions.

Huh, I didn't see that part.
The Christian Caliphate of Kenny/Lee strikes again.
I understand your sentiment but lets please not name call and give a different innocent thread a reason to be shut down. :<
I know I know, you ain't no gurl. But gurl, I am with ya.
I only noticed it recently myself. It wasn't exactly civil, but it sure didn't warrant closing the thread,

Well someone probably flagged it as sexist or something.
Serously, it's worth your time and money.
Wtf your thread was awesome I loved it
I'm very frustrated atm.
v_v
It's a difficult situation. They knew it was going to cause a shitstorm. But at hthe same time, they couldn't rightfully delete his post.
What's the matter Meg?

I have to find a place in or around my area, and write a paper about how it reflects the historically changing power relations between groups.
It's quite a challenge... My area has issues but nothing worth writing 10 - 15 pages about. ;A;
So like, a bank or a railroad, or something more like a town hall? Hell, write about a sporting stadium.
