Compared with other things available on TV and the Net, it is rather mild, actually.

But I will tell you this much: I do think it's rather degrading to women in this profession. Many women (a couple I know even) are trying to be taken seriously in the journalism profession. It's rather sad that even in journalism, women can be used as a token sex symbol. Maybe I am taking it too seriously because I've seen the struggles of female journalists, but it does play on my "morally correct strings" somewhat.

And yes, you are quite right that there is a 'male naked news room', too. I missed that.

Personally, I thought it was the dumbest thing. As performance art, it might have worked...once. After that, it was just dull.

Well, you can get yourself catapulted into space wearing assless chaps, as Hinterland did in this thread. That'll make people sit up and take notice.

...oh, who am I kidding? The bloom is definitely off that rose.

a) I'm older than you.
b) I'm a freaking economics professor.

Uh-huh, that's right....Man Boobs. And not just those little, droopy titties skinny guys get...we're talking gazongas!

It's not so bad. It's opened up new avenues for wardrobe, if anything.

It's my own wee boyish figure. All those years when they might have been useful, y'know ... And now they turn up? Or down, actually, more's the truth. *sniff*

But, I'll be sensitive. Stephen and I can talk about hair moving from places where it should be (the head) to where it shouldn't be (the ears and back). I'm lucky in that respect so far, no back hair, and a coiffe like a hat, if I don't keep it trimmed. Weird thing about the eyebrows, though...I have these horse-hairs growing out them now and have to actually trim them...

Now, as pertains to kidney area fat, loss of waist, and the dreaded old man smell, there are several points on which I'd like to touch...

Do you know what happens to fairly muscular men who have big chests and broad shoulders, somewhere around the age of 40?

(emphasis added)

A-hem.

Let me just say -- not from personal experience (scroll down).

(And I don't know when the feminism forum became the place for nonsense threads, but if it comes to a choice between closing and moving this one, could it be moved, please?)

The year was 1972; I was seven years old. I awoke in a Toronto hotel after a long train ride from Windsor.

Mom and Dad were having a room-service supper, and I switched on the TV. There, a mostly naked man was cavorting onstage, singing, apparently. I believe I must have cried out because Mom leapt up to switch off that smut... smut, I tell you!

I was forever changed.
