to hate the picture on the home page of the doctor looking between the woman's open legs?

[Mintyy]

?

Just avoid the homepage.

I have active saved as a favourite so I bypass home and come straight to talk.

I don't even understand what it's supposed to be? Is it making a joke of some sort?

I come straight to Talk but have just had a nosey at it, what's that all about eh?

Well, I could just avoid the home page squeezy but that's not really the point.

I agree its horrid.

I think its just a badly thought out joke

Why do you hate it?

Ah, but is it 'gender neutral' enough for most MNers ?

I think its a bit porny tbh. It's not really necessary, the thread could easily be represented by a different (perhaps real, not posed) image.

I don't like it either. It perpetuating an inaccurate and intimidating idea of childbirth.

No partner of mine has EVER donned cap and gloves to look at my fanny! What's 'porny' about it?

It would be better with a female midwife shining her torch (most MWs seem to keep a torch about their person) for a better look.

I defy anyone to say whether the person doing the peering is male or female!!

Having a female midwife just perpetuates that it is a 'female' job - I thought on MN we taught gender neutrality from the age of 2 weeks??

I don't like it and I don't like the caption either saying '' Yes, but what about the Haddock?''.
Why's that funny?

It is a link to a thread of anecdotes about funny things that happen in childbirth. One MNer (under the influence of pain relief) was very worried about the haddock she had left at home.
And there are far more stories on the thread talking about female midwives than male ones.
It should probably have been the male cleaner doing the peering as that accurately reflects one of the anecdotes.

Female genitals = fishy. Oh how hilair

It's awful. And the line with it is too.

Yes, the what about the Haddock I thought some ref to womens parts.

I dislike it for all reasons I dislike Amercian films and their portrayal of CB.

It's tasteless but I find the MN homepage is frequently has annoying/unpleasant images these days.

I didn't like it either. Not really sure why, maybe just a bit unnecessary and graphic to illustrate a thread that was lighthearted.

I don't like it. Why has he got his hands on her knees?

I don't like it.
I am not surprised though, seems most things are no longer sacred.

I hate it. I'm surprised by MN tbh.

I hate it too.
