I agree - the target audience likely hasn't seen these women kicking arse and taking names so it is unfortunate that they are posed looking artistic and hot rather than climbing and artistic and hot.
And really...ANOTHER shot where the SOLE purpose of the camera angle is to catch a shot of boobs coming out of a sports bra? Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with pictures intended to titillate but this is so elementary-climbing-photography school. Overplayed, passe, on the wrong side of the "cool" line, we are ready for something more interesting please. Of course, I'm a straight female so perhaps I'm more bored of that shot than others.
Which brings me to my second point. IF the insinuation was that the poster was a lesbian (and I of course can only guess the intent), what would that have to do with their right to have an opinion about how women climbers are portrayed?
Um, that would be a woman on the forum...with an opinion about women in climbing. Who cares who she is or isn't humping?
