> For the record, I don’t think you’ve shown that it was a sexual thread. The OP of the thread asked for feedback from other women on “your experience with bras, and when you leave them on and take them off.” Yes, before and during sex was used as one example of a time when she and other posters in the thread either leave it on or take it off. That, to me, doesn’t make it a “sexual” thread. The actual request for information from the OP was much broader than that. I’d be more inclined to put it under category #2 rather than #3, myself.

> That being said, I don’t think the note I issued in the thread needed to get to that level of distinction. From my perspective, the problem was off-topic commentary that was increasingly posing the possibility of derailing the thread. My experience and the experience of other posters tells me that it’s the type of topic that can more easily be knocked off the rails than others, and my hope was to put a stop to that before it went any further that direction.

Fair enough and thank you for the clarification. I would argue that a) in that case if it was a non-sexual thread at least some of the comments made by women in the thread in my quotes upthread were overly sexualized and b) if it was indeed sexual, but a ‘serious’ sexual thread, then again some of the quotes I cited ran afoul of this, either way.

I don’t protest the mod note however, only some of the arguments presented in this thread (from non mods) about why it was justified. Your reason makes pretty darn good sense.

And since this is ATMB and I can junior mod a little here I would add that the most serious rules violation in that entire thread was not noted:

> [@Women, talk to me about your bra habits please](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/women-talk-to-me-about-your-bra-habits-please/735233/70):
>
> You’ve made this joke at least twice before, and you’ve been told by a moderator that it’s inappropriate in threads like these.
> 
> Two other men apparently have poor impulse control and poor self-awareness.
> 
> What is your damage?

In a few lines this post all at once managed to contain junior modding, and three direct personal insults against other posters.
