This is everything wrong with this hobby in one photo.

Of course it is a personal matter. If a woman is not offended by it then thats her personal opinion.

Whether a specific woman is offended is subjective. I don't see why that should prevent you from speaking on the topic, though (which was the conclusion of your point).

Just because one woman thinks its offensive doesn't make it so. Hell, a woman thinking "objectification" is inherently offensive doesn't even make it so. One woman's opinion is one woman's opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. I see no need to defer to someone else in deciding what is, and is not, offensive ... or what is, or is not, "objectification" ... or whether "objectification" is even a problem to begin with. Speak your mind.

Ok, my personal opinion is that making these figures is kind of a cop out cash grab. I don't think for one second all the statues made of half naked (or worse) woman would sell even 1/10th as well if they were fully covered and not "sexy." If my little 5 year old niece saw topless statues in my collection I would die with embarrassment. I understand people like them and more power to them but they are not for me. Now weather that means I think they objectify woman or not I don't know... I think things like porno movies and Playboy do a much worse job of objectifying than statues because those are real woman being used and in some cases being taken advantage of and abused. A "fake" woman statue is kind of bad but there are a LOT worse things out there that should be corrected before a statue.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to speak.

I agree!the only important thing that comes out of a womans mouth is "what do you want me to make for dinner"

And the best thing that comes out of man's mouth is......

oh damn...I can't think of anything.

Jen has offended my feelings. Damn women

You don't appreciate a good belch? I did one just now, I gave it an '8'.

If people could just follow these simple rules, we could eliminate a lot of useless chatter.

let me open the door for you
i've left the toilet seat down for you
yes you can borrow the credit card
let me do all the heavy lifting and physical labor for the same paid job
i'll pay for dinner
do you need a ride
women and children first!

Man and boy are raised to go out of their way to do things for women. And they are still moaning. If this thread was created with the genders reversed it wouldnt of got past page 1. Women are already the dominant species. You've got no more to take. Men are already your slaves.

Men just have one simple rule: Don't cross the streams.

Hmmmmm....you don't know me very well.

Sure it's nice manners to open the door for a lady...but then I tend to open doors for the elderly or hold it open if someone is following me in to a building. It's a nice gesture - but hardly worth men screaming - I open doors for you.

No man has ever given me their credit card to use....I work, I can pay my own way.

If I am dating - I try to even things out. If you pay one week, I'll pay the next week. I'm totally cool with that and feel it is more than fair...though to be honest, I have dated some men who were greatly offended when I went to pay for our drinks/dinner.

I have my own vehicle - don't need a ride.

I've worked some physical labor type of jobs - and yes, I couldn't lift as much as a man...but I did my share, worked my *** off and got just as dirty as the rest of them.

I think the whole men are basically nothing but women's slaves is b.s. I've seen it many, many times the other way around. Relationships are give and take and if you are in one where you are doing all of the giving...then perhaps you need to find yourself a new partner.

Not doing hoodrat things - I can tell you that.

The breakdown of the traditional family unit and its associated gender roles has presented a challenge to both genders.

But it's fun to do bad things
