Albert smith 11 #49 Posted January 13, 2018 Doesn't alter that it's pornographic and not suitable for the workplace does it, particularly where customers might see it. So you consider it pornography to see lasses posing topless. Have you ever been to the Spanish resorts where it is the norm for both sexes to sun bathe without tops or perhaps you may have seen certain travel programs on T.V. where the norm is for both sexes to be semi naked in every day life . Are these people deemed to be in pornographic poses in your eyes or are they just doing what comes naturally to most of the World population .

Cyclone 10 #50 Posted January 14, 2018 Are you claiming that topless calendars aren't pornographic? And thus should be allowed in the workplace? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone 10 #53 Posted January 14, 2018 I can refer you to the definition of pornography. Beyond that, perhaps you should ask your parents to explain, you know, have that chat. pornography pɔːˈnɒɡrəfi/Submit noun printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement. In case you were going to claim that breasts aren't sexual https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-human-beast/201305/sexual-wiring-womens-breasts If they weren't those calendars wouldn't exist, they exist purely for the purposes of titillation. You're quite obviously trolling as nobody would reasonably contend that topless calendars aren't soft porn, but hopefully that clears it up for you anyway.

Nobody described the HR department banning topless statues though, so not really relevant. Are you disputing that topless calendars ARE pornography?

Nobody described the HR department banning topless statues though, so not really relevant. Are you disputing that topless calendars ARE pornography? "Pornography" is too strong a word. Titillation is what most people would probably describe it as. Its all semantics I suppose; one persons titillation is another persons pornography.

leviathan13 350 #57 Posted January 15, 2018 I have to tolerate religious imagery around me all the time. I work with people of different faiths and have to look at crosses/stars/religious clothing... however, you can bet if I proclaimed to be a Satanist and started bringing in images of inverted pentagrams and goats etc. it would not be tolerated and would be deemed as offensive. That, to me, shows that equality is a subjective term... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anna B 1,417 #59 Posted March 2, 2018 What is pornographic about a lady showing her bare breasts ?. or perhaps a male model doing the same in a woman's fashion shop . Please explain . I think we're vering into Art vs Porn here, which has always been a contentious issue. Context is important. There's a place for Art and a place for Porn, and most people acknowledge the boundaries. The human body can be very beautiful, both male and female. But that beauty can just 'be,' or be 'used' for different purposes. Titillation is one of them, and that is very borderline. Would a man like to enter an all female workplace, to be confronted with pictures of full frontal, large and erect, gorgeous male Adonis, that the women drool over, and weigh him up against? Not nice really is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
