Both genders are far from equal victims. Even if codedicks was a equivalent version of the site, objectifying men (rather than a parody) your assertion would still be wrong. When we're trying to promote equality in a male dominated field, the objectification of women does more harm than the objectification of men in that context. I'm not suggesting we go out and objectify men, but trying to point out that the effects of this objectification of women has the ability to cause far more harm than an equivalent site objectifying men. A site objectifying men would do very little to change the status-quo, codechicks has the very real potential to (when put in context with the daily shit throw at girls and women in this field) to make someone think twice about getting into it. Whilst discussion of male issues are important, the "but what about the men" argument that comes up almost universally in topics like this is so tiring. Can we not just be able to discuss issues of gender equality & the exploitation and objectification of women without constantly having to inject our gender (yes I'm a dude) into the piece? It de-rails the conversation about women's issues, re-focuses it on the men, and silences those who may wish to speak out against the objectification of women.
