Some - perhaps not all - of today's comments were satirizing the earlier comments. Certainly that's how I took @Azamiryou 's post.Sorry, but no. Claiming it's "just humor" normalizes the unacceptable behavior.

This.Some - perhaps not all - of today's comments were satirizing the earlier comments. Certainly that's how I took @Azamiryou 's post.
I should note this is intended as self deprecating humor and NOT as anything insulting to xyla.It’ll just be a t shirt and sweet pants, long shirt if it’s cold. I’m afraid I just can’t pull of her look.
Yes. The target of my post was those who can't stop themselves from commenting on a woman's clothing.Certainly that's how I took @Azamiryou 's post.
Look, I can criticize a mans OR a woman's clothing as well as the next guy... its just not appropriate in an engineering and entrepreneurship hobby forum.Yes. The target of my post was those who can't stop themselves from commenting on a woman's clothing.
For the record, I am not actually interested in criticizing @NTP2's outfits.
I would not care if you were, I’ve been known to show up with my shirt inside out…For the record, I am not actually interested in criticizing @NTP2's outfits.
OT: I used to watch Giada DeLaurentis on Food Channel because I really liked her Italian recipes. Some of the recipes had horrible reviews, but when I looked at the actual comments, it was nearly always women complaining about what Giada was wearing on that particular show.You just can't help yourselves, can you? You have to keep bringing it back to what she's wearing.
How about talking purely about the kit in question, her build technique, build skills, etc?
Um....boys.....some of you might find this of interest.

What I find so humorous is that's a TV show called "TMZ" I think... and it's a bunch of fat ugly guys wearing Jeans and T-Shirts criticizing what celebrities wear... Mostly women celebrities. And this is what America feels is worthy entertainment.Look, I can criticize a mans OR a woman's clothing as well as the next guy..
A show watched almost exclusively by women. The female audience likes 3 things. 1) they like hearing the expensive clothes/fashion, 2) they REALLY like hearing all the bad stuff said about the women who are prettier than they are and 3) they LOVE the fantasy that men actually would sit and talk about fashion.What I find so humorous is that's a TV show called "TMZ" I think... and it's a bunch of fat ugly guys wearing Jeans and T-Shirts criticizing what celebrities wear...

She also Rockets!Xyla rocks!
Giada is rather attractive. I tease my wife about this when I prepare her swordfish with lemon and mint. But the recipe is a good one.OT: I used to watch Giada DeLaurentis on Food Channel because I really liked her Italian recipes.

Hans. (Who sometimes watched the show just because of what she was wearing.)

Virtue signaling is when you pretend to care but actually do nothing.Congrats to everyone who made ass of themselves, or took the opportunity to virtue signal.
Can we get back to rocketry?

You said it better than I ever could. This forum is an online version of community. If you were standing in your front yard, and the neighbor across the street made disparaging comments about your daughter, would you standby and do nothing? Or would you call that out, in the most visible and undeniable way?The behavior happened here, therefore this is the correct place to call it out.
It's also 100% about rocketry, because rocketry has a problem with misogynistic comments and "humor", as displayed in this very thread. It's also not unique to this thread.
Sticking your head in the sand and ignoring it is giving it implied consent.
"Why aren't the women speaking up, if it's so bad?" Because they'll be absolutely vilified if they do.
The thread started out about the kit, then people had to pivot it to being about her appearance. Then people felt it appropriate to make jokes about appearance, which downplays the significance of the initial comments. From there, people segued to a celebrity chef....and commented about her appearance. All on a rocketry forum.
But you think calling that out is virtue signaling and isn't an indication of a problem in the hobby.
I'm going to personally disagree with Grace Hopper. As a long-time computer geek, Adm. Hopper was notable for two very important milestones that would have etched her name in my mind no matter her gender. First, she is allegedly the first person to document a bug in a program, by taping a moth that was caught in a relay to the logbook. Second, she is responsible for creating the language COBOL, which you may love or hate, but can't ignore, since the vast majority of code running on mainframes is written in COBOL.I just got the opportunity to read that, I knew about the airplane refueling incident but not the others. I agree with the point that we’d never know about grace hoper or other females in the sciences unless we still viewed them differently than others.
How many non computer geeks know what COBOL is? They could have but not definitely heard of bugs.I'm going to personally disagree with Grace Hopper. As a long-time computer geek, Adm.

I think you have it backwards. Most non-computer geeks have heard of bugs, but not of COBOL. On the other hand, most non-computer geeks would not have heard the apocryphal story of the moth taped to the logbook.How many non computer geeks know what COBOL is?

That’s what I said no non computer geek has heard of cobol but bugs are well known.I think you have it backwards. Most non-computer geeks have heard of bugs, but not of COBOL. On the other hand, most non-computer geeks would not have heard the apocryphal story of the moth taped to the logbook.
