Well, in this case I think you chose wrong. It is possible to admire without objectifying. At least I hope it is.

I see. So when wolverine objectifies her it's ok but when I state clearly what he was insinuating it's not ok?

To be clear as you may not know - Louise Milligan is an ABC journo (usually 4corners) who has in the past been fairly militant in her views to the point of using her clout/platform to cancel people because they disagree with her. EDIT: & then letting the ABC use tax payer money to pay her legal fees and penalties even when shes incurred then NOT performing in a role as journo for the ABC.
She also has a cracking pair of tits.

There - now I'm objectifying women. Altho I'd still call it "admiration". I've included a pic - I'm sure Lou's been on sbs at some point in her career.

Well the [auscelebs] tag doesn't work.

I understood exactly what Wolverine was implying, and I wasn't rapt with it, but I give him a little leeway for at least trying to disguise it a bit. We have to leave some room for bawdiness or innuendo that just misses the mark.

As I've said before I would like to think that if the subjects of my posts were to visit this forum, they would not be overly offended and might even get a kick out of how they are presented here (or at least in my posts). As is often the case in human nature, all the positive feedback (including the thanks) can be diminished by a blunt statement such as yours. By the way, your description of Louise Milligan seems reductive rather than admiring to me. I don't think any woman would feel better (let alone safer) after reading such things, and the effect would probably be worse on someone younger, or less confident. They are vulnerable because they are attractive and their profession demands that they be in the public eye. Perhaps you'd reply with something like "it's their choice", or "gotta take the good with the bad"... I would argue that we owe them some duty of care, but perhaps I am just trying to justify my own participation in this forum. Then again, I'd like to think that most on this forum would feel the same.
