Sexism, in reality, favours men and hurts women. That&amp;#x27;s why an image of Brad Pitt is okay, whereas an image of Emma Watson is not okay! (and by the way, they &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; suggestive)&lt;p&gt;Any argument that goes &amp;quot;But if we switched genders, then it would be fine!&amp;quot; is completely missing the point that we are still living in a de-facto patriarchy, where objectification of men is not even an issue.&lt;p&gt;In any case, I found the choice of images immature and closed the website right away.</text></comment>
