I am going to say right off the bat that this thread is NOT PC. I'm sure it will get flamed by a huge number of angry she climbers right up the bat. However, I think it deserves to exist so here it is. Every time i click on a photo with an attactive female climber in it, there is inevitably a long list of angry women posters who feel debased soley because somebody made an allusion to the fact that the subject of the shot is attractive. Now, i am the first to agree that sexist comments have no place in a forum like this, but why is it that nobody feels debased when a female poster has the urge to comment on sharma's rippling deltoids? Feminists say that when men seek to create the image of the pamela anderson stereotype, they are doing a disservice to their female counterparts...yet when somebody does voice appreciation for an athlete with a so called "real" physique, they are looked down on for it. So, in response to the situation, i have created this thread for you to post up your RC.com shots of all those attractive ladies (and boys too, we are all about equality on this thread). Alright ladies and gents, lets see those rippling glutes. Remember...its all in the name of equality.

This is greater than those...its about looking past gender and social status and intelligence and judging people not on who they are, but by how they look. And did that guy just say meatbombs?Can't say ive heard that one before.

"Looking past gender and social status and intelligence and judging people not on who they are, but by how they look..."
Are you serious? Unhand the sociology homework, oy.
I'll take a stab at it, being an Angry She Climber and overall bitter bitch with major tit envy.
When a photo of a "real" girl next door type toproping an 8 or leading a ledgy 5.6 shows up on the front page (or for that matter, doing something rad but with the camera going straight into her tits), with a litany of gushing babble, we feel patronized. As with any photo on the front page, we want to feel inspired. We don't want to see something entirely average in subject and composition. It's why we don't vote up or catcall snapshots of men dinking around on weekend warrior stuff either. But a chick does something utterly unimpressive and it's everywhere, because of a few guys with a boner, and that irks the Angry She Climbers and some men, who are cut down with "your just jelus" or some derivative thereof, and "you don't appreciate female beauty" (you can abbreviate this to "gay," right?). I see the compliment in there but it's lame. Up your standards and conduct, knuckle-draggers. If I wanted to see a chick toproping moderates I'd attach a mirror to my beanie.
Angry enough for ya? Go ahead, assume I'm just some busted chubby bitch who can't crank the rads or attract half a dozen boys to spot me in the gym and that's why I'm so foul.

uh, what?
Wow...i think i might need ice for my poor bruised chauvanistic ego. If you'd read my post, i didnt say anything about moderates. I also didnt say anything about you being " just jelus" or that the fact that if girls weren't your thing you were "gay." I actually invited people to post up shots of guys if that was their thing as well. If just wanted naked, then i would go and post the shot of the two topless girls in front of half dome. Here, this will make you feel better: 
looking good and pulling hard.

I assumed your impetus for starting this thread was in response to the many blah photos of women on blah routes, wherein we are called "Angry She Climbers" (that exact phrase) for being vocal in our disapproval.
You know, a good photo of a rad route that doesn't focus on breasts or lipstick doesn't generally get the same angry reaction.

Well, I can't speak for that, as I don't remember it being me (though, who knows, I may have gone into food coma on inhaling kettle chips and redi whip and forgotten  ) But again, I think us "ASC" girls would rather be praised for ability, not looks, even if we have both. Again, being the feminists that we are, we get annoyed when our achievements are overlooked in favor of something we actually had nothing to do with and is very superficial.

For photos of a brilliant climber of above average intelligence (read very intelligent) with an amazing personality (she will help anyone from noobs to those who climb at the same standard), who happens to be an attractive female, with shoulders and arms most male climber long for, try;
leahcraneclimbing.com
I know Leah and am a great fan and the more publicity she gets, and the more hits her site gets, the more her sponsors will help her in her ambition to reach the top.
Go on make her day!

He's quoted me before too. You don't feel so complemented now, do ya? Then he'll replace yours, just like so many before...Damn you, Knievel, you serial quoter!
BTW, I like my current sig because it's a paraphrase of the now-defunct NSFW. Here's to him and his next troll account!
Oh yeah, women are good. I generally like pics of women climbing stuff I can't (I know, that's a lot of territory...). But I'd be lying if I said I didn't admire some pics more for their "aesthetic value" than the burly 5.7 being top roped in them.

Sorry, Hillary, but this just ain't so.
I've had pics of me both catcalled at and voted up, merely because I was showing some skin from a flattering angle. And yes, on weekend warrior climbs, and yes, in some *terrible* photos!
Fact #1 - it happens. Fact #2 - I'm not special. Fact #3 - It simply isn't a big deal, in fact, it's rather flattering.
Truth is, there's a double-standard. And that really isn't a problem, despite the OP's lack of insight. Treat folks how they want to be treated, simple as that. Women and men are different in some ways And you know what, I think that's fine! That's pretty much what this all boils down to. Women and men are different in some ways, and I have no problem acknowledging that and appreciating the difference. As the French say, Vive le...
GO
P.S. Here are two examples I found real quick.
Photo 1:
Comments:
"They shuld have named it muscles for Gabe! Meow!!!"
"a mediocre pic, but what girl could resist those muscles?! Not me, an 8."
"yowsa! i'm pretty sure you should come to colorado and be my 5.12 rope gun. yep. definitely sure."
"Damn!"
Photo 2:
Description: "Fighting the pump as I grease off all the holds on this pumpy 5.10d. God I was a sweaty mess."
Comments: "were u salty as well besides sweaty....mmmm haha!"
Please don't misunderstand. I take the comments above in the way they were meant - as a lovely lighthearted appreciation of the images.
Edited because I forgot to add - both pics received at least one "10". No doubt for my intelligence and personality! ;)
GO

Maybe we should make a standard response poll to the female photos?
Such as:
__ nice rack
__ nice ass
__ after she cleans the route, she can clean the dishes
__ are you sure that's a chick?

This thread is very appropriate coming from a guy who doesn't use pick-up lines, he simply takes off his shirt.
And this picture counts right?

Yeah, but she was on a V0, so there was no pretension of it being anything other than a thread about her ass.
(Where is that thread, anyway?)
