Please go easy
on the misogynistic "I would" type posts whenever a picture of an attractive lady is posted on the board. Not only can it get a bit tiresome, but it can be intimidating and unwelcoming for a lot of lady boarders. Besides, even if you would, she probably wouldn't.

apposite quotation, rather
after all, if I wanted to think about adolescents tugging at their boythings, I'd look on my hard drive...

I find this odd.
I'm not an "I would"er.
I was in college in the US for almost all of the nineties, and even as a product of that hothouse of constant anti-penile browbeating, I can't figure a rational standard under which commenting favorably (or ironically) on the attractiveness (or not) of a picture of a woman (or vampire, or dalek, or the blue thing in "Cap'n Biscuit") qualifies as misogynistic.
I also can't come up with a reading of "Even if you would, she probably wouldn't" that isn't misandric.
The FAQ is a self-hating hypocrite. (It does have a man's name.)
