Well let's look up the definition of sexist.
"unfair treatment of people because of their sex"
How does this thread do that? There is exactly nothing stopping a straight woman or gay man from making a thread titled "The Official PnB (Pecs and bulges) Thread". That someone hasn't done so means nothing.
So it's not sexist.
Misogynistic?
Misogyny is defined as "the hatred of women", and a thread dedicated to the female form isn't inherently about that.
So it's not misogynistic.
Objectifying?
The definition of "objectifying" means "to treat as an object".
Whether or not this thread is doing that is arguable because what actually constitutes "objectification" is very vague. I assume you believe this thread is an example of "sexual objectification". But before we can really discuss this, I have to ask; what qualifies as sexual objectification to you?
Is it the concept of physical attractiveness itself? Is acknowledging any physically attractive feature on a woman objectification. Not just boob or butt, but anything someone might find attractive?
Where do you draw the line Bardock?
