Lots of sexist avatars on audio forums

[c.coyle]

I've always found your avatar particularly sexy ... but maybe that's just me ...

It was either Alfred E. or Sasha B. Couldn't find Borat holding a soldering iron.

And what about all these animals with no clothes on?!

I'm outraged.

Please, you love it.

It's my wife, and she doesn't mind, so I think it's ok.

I thought she looked . . . . nevermind.

I just don't let simple stuff bother me. Makes my life much easier, with less stress.

Anyone else out there disappointed at the rampant sexism on display here, as evidenced by the plethora of juvenile and sexist avatar photos on so many audio forum members?

How would our mothers, wives and daughters feel about this?

I assume you are talking about people whose avatars are old white men, particularly old white European composers who represent the patriarchal nature of the classical music world.

I suppose that Hermann Rorschach would call my avatar sexist...

Don't think the Doc can post a link since his claims are dumn founded.

Is my avatar male, or female ? Dunno. I think it looks a bit like Steven Tyler on a good day.

His claims are speechless with amazement?

Use your free will.
There's nothing more offensive than a wet blanket, IMO.

IMHO, there is a HELL of a lot more offensive than a wet blanket.

I'm not upset at a barechested woman DONE WITH TASTE.
I'm a big fan of Elvgrin and classic pin-up poses - they are cute!

If someone gets tasteless or downright rude -
I have been known to call them down for it ...

Carry on Gentlemen.

Heck its never bothered me to be honest.

I didn't say sexual content. I said "sexist". OMG we are in a live Spinal Tap reference.

Really - I find this place, for the most part, quite civilized and only minimally sexist - all things considered.
I've only blocked a couple folks in the many years I've been a paid member here.
(Hint: since 2007)

This thread has inspired me to change my own avatar. The image previously associated with my posts (a Marantz 1180DC with a soldering iron in the background) glorified the achievements of Saul Marantz, an old white man and charter member of the audio-patriarchy. My new avatar celebrates the achievements (and breasts) of keyboard player and DJ, Zia McCabe.

My wife helps pick mine out.
