I am bothered by photos that objectify women but those occur on the LUG seldom enough that I can ignore them. I am also bothered by obvious sexism and misogyny which also occurs on most male-dominated lists and which I point out when it does occur. I have read words on the LUG which did disrespect my gender and I objected at the time.
