how quickly that culture is changing (i.e. so slowly as to be almost imperceptible). Just FYI I have noticed your efforts there and I appreciate the heavy lifting you do. I attempted it back on DU2 once, but was shouted down and subsequently gave up on the forum.

I think it will change eventually, but the sports culture embraces the objectification of female athletes so unquestioningly - let alone commentators and let's not forget cheerleaders, and I don't think anything will change as long as the idea of women as 'things' first is so pervasive.
