Dammit, I just got off the fone from the person I thought was Aight, it ain't him :(

Hmmmm..............

Anyway, with regard to women and paintball, or rather the objectifying of women in paintball.......ah fcuk it.....here goes....women can't play as well as men (in a general sense) because anatomically we are not the same ................and sex sells, and will continue to sell and until such time as it doesn't, you might as well go and piss in the sea for all the difference a moral standpoint is gonna make.
This is the real world, live with it !!!

You can berate the situation as much as you like but the harsh realities are there for all to see, men like to look at women, and women like to be looked at by men, paid or not paid.
PGI won't lose any female readers over this because the vast majority of the media all subscribe to the same idea of 'sex' selling, the female readers are well used to it in many other publications and will just ignore it and get on with enjoying the magazine for the reason they bought it, to learn, to be entertained, to wallow in paintball and to read my articles :)

If I may be so bold as to quote our learned friend Pat Robertson...

"[The] feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

That's not like Pat. He didn't blame the environmental movement too ;)

Paul, it was different with you, I never thought I recognised anything particular in what you posted, it was more the content and intelligence of what you wrote that made me think you were somebody who was cloaking.
After all, so much insider info and insight was rather incongruous from a self-confessed nobody (no disresepcrt intended).
Nah, I know who our friend Aight is :)
Just kiddin' ya a wee bit. And I'm in no way offended as I remain a self-confessed nobody, and proud of it. :D

Are paintballers sexist pigs ?

Well - then so is every person on the planet who enjoys the show put on by models at an autoshow, cheerleaders at a Laker game or a Cowboys game, the girls on page "whatever" in most newspapers - or any other instance where beautiful girls are used to attract attention to something (be it a product or just themselves).

If we objectify women in this sport, then that is just a reflection on society as a whole.

Want to change society ?

- I don't think P8ntballer is the right place to do it (although some may disagree ;) )

And.... I actually think arguing on behalf of the women in this debate is much more degrading to women....... the modern woman is a strongminded, capable, thinking, independent individual, who is perfectly able to speak out or take action, if she is against something.

No woman has ever been forced to appear in a paintball magazine or at a trade stand - or wear something she didn't want to....... it doesn't work that way now a days !

...is there a parrot in here? ......
