To ask dp to take the FHM Calendar down?

[hobbgoblin10]

It was up at work. I went in to help for a couple of hours and noticed he had it over the top of the usual one.

I said I wouldn't help while it was up and that it was a bad example to his teenage DD who will see it this weekend when she visits.

I don't mind him watching porn but I did mind this as it was more public and also do not like the idea of writing DD's vaccination dates/swimming schedule on such a work calendar.

I think he may have been testing my reaction for a bit of cheap and easy humour but still...

What do you think?

YABU. Jeez, some people are so uptight! We had last year's hanging in our kitchen. It's just the female form, nothing to get your knickers in a twist about, IMHO.

tacky and chavtastic

bleurgh.

or a wee bit of fun. Sis has a Simon Cowell one hanging in her kitchen and kisses it every time she walks past. The mentalist!

What - Simon Cowell in his pants? Eeeuuuuwwwww!

So men are not allowed openly to find pretty women attractive any more, not ladies handsome chaps? (Mutatis mutandis for other orientation, obv.)... What is the world coming to? People getting up-tight about this sort of thing don't do their own gender any favours.

for not ladies read NOR ladies... otherwise it makes no sense...

I'd just roll my eyes and say "Bit childish,don't you think?"

Calendars with picyures on are almost always shit, IME.

To be honest, I find this a really difficult subject to be objective about.

I have learnt to feign confidence quite convincingly but am not naturally so. I openly appreciate attractive women, but don't really judge men on their 'attractiveness'. I am affected by 'presence' more.

But if I were with a man who expressed his admiration of an attractive woman, it would unsettle me and make me feel insecure.

I don't think it is a good idea to have things like that up when his DD may be around.

I am not a fan of FHM, but read GQ regularly and somehow find their attitude to women healthier as it seems to recognise that women have minds even more than the majority of women's magazines do.

That is probably all gobbledigook, but just about sums up my confused attitude to the subject in hand.
