The thing is there is a difference between a bit of banter and people thinking it's genuinely acceptable to treat women a certain way because of how they look or dress. If you have had a friend a partner etc who has been on the recieving end of sht like this you realise how common it actually is and it's fcking scary. If you need to resort to this sort of thing to get some action then you are a sorry case but sadly these people do exist. There is a difference between posting which celeb you'd love to bugger then people half jokingly saying you'd like to see a photo up some poor lass' skirt. Sometimes it's hard to separate the jokes from the creeps. For example there is no way in my mind that PTJ is anything other than a funny poster with a dark sense of humour that is genuinely funny and a proper palace fan and I'm not talking about any comments like that. But there are enough people that send unsolicited dick picks or creep on women to the point of it being uncomfortable that it's important to realise that there is a line that is crossed too often. And proper blokes are aware of that line but sadly many think it's okay.

Those engaging in these acts or bombarding women with dick pics because they think every women secretly wants them are grubby and gross individuals. More often than not they are held to account for their behaviour eventually and rightly so.

Good post Coulsdon. Quick show of hands, does anyone here think it's ok to take unsolicited photos of anyone's private parts or underwear or whatever (as per the actual article)? Unless people are trying to be deliberately contraversial I don't think anyone's going to say yes. If anyone thought I was saying it was ok, I shall just reiterate: I wasn't.

More often than not they are held to account for their behaviour eventually and rightly so. I agree with you. There is a deeper philosophical question though about the nature of desire, how it should/could be expressed and how people are to cope with their sexual drives in a way that doesn't adversely affect others. Some males are more driven sexually than others and to a smaller percentage perhaps females. Society treats these too genetic realities very differently. I think males and some females who aren't very good in social situations yet highly sexed have issues with correct expression....Then again, you get manipulative narcissists who want to see what advantage they can gain from being direct....again, people respond very differently depending upon their gender.

We start our new season tomorrow united as Palace fans. In 7 days time the hottest debate will be whether we'll end up in League 2 or where to holiday in Turkey for the Europa League. As fellow Palace fans let's at least extend each other the courtesy of a bit more benefit of the doubt than we'd give most people. I'm not aiming that at anyone specific on this forum by the way. If someone says something that could potentially be construed as the most disgusting endorsement of a sex crime (for example) or they may not be saying that at all, we could just ask them rather than jump two footed straight down their throat. Some of us have a history on here of being constantly "jokey" with our comments. I am one of them. I don't say this to excuse anything we say, I say it because we feel reasonably sure people will know us well enough to usually not have to ask whether we are being nasty or not. However, I do appreciate there will be people, in particular new posters or fans of other clubs, that don't know us well enough to draw that conclusion and that's something I personally now have in the back of my mind. More so in light of recent sensitivities. But either way, if in doubt, ask. And if you think someone is saying something that could be misconstrued by someone that doesn't know the history of this forum quite so well, how about politely pointing that out instead of going straight for the jugular? One final caveat, I'm not talking here about obviously aggressive/bullying/heinous comments that cannot be taken either way.

If someone is on an sex orientated dating website or app receiving such images is likely par of the course and has a level of appropriateness to it. If a guy is sending unsolicited explicit pics to women he's never even talked to on Facebook though for instance, that to me rings alarm bells and is intrusive and unnerving.

A really, really important thing to remember with Banter - is that it has to be consensual. Its not mandatory. For example, if someone posts a serious response to a topic, and you just chip straight in with a sexist joke about their period, then the assumption is that its not banter. If your note sure, drop a smiley face in. But remember if the other person doesn't take it as banter - its on you. If there is some too and fro, or they're regular contributors to General Talk, sure.
