Unsurprisingly, the guys are arguing for what benefits them and the SPs are arguing for what benefits them. This is unlikely to change anytime soon, and it's part of the culture here. The odd thing is that boards like this are not shared boards typically, they are for men. There are SP here that argue that this board is for women too, but it's not. It's for men. The subject material is for the benefit of men and the target audience of that material is men. It is not for women. Having said that, there are benefits that accrue in having women participate on the board too. Yin/yang. The downside is that the objectivity and completeness of reviews go down, men are subjected to relentless self-promotion, and that due to the nature of the board and its financing structure the ladies here have rights that exceed and supercede those of the members for whom the board exists, which is something that doesn't exist on other boards typically. This is of course a problem. The benefit is that men are given insights into the SP world and the thinking of the ladies who work in it, as well as being given an introduction into the the personalities of the ladies involved, which is something that doesn't exist on other boards typically. That's a benefit. This makes it a subjective decision for the individual member as to whether the pluses outwiegh the minuses and everyone's personal calculus is different as to whether one heavily outweighs the other or whether there is enough balance.
As for beauty being subjective, it totally is, as long as you're talking about an individual, and that seems to lie at the root of the problem for the people arguing it here. An individual will find a certain colouring, body type or look as preferable to all others. However, that is not a standard of beauty, that's individual taste. Collectively culture and society as a whole have decided that there is a certain range of physical attributes that as a consensus of the group are more conventionally attractive than others. Society looks at a person and if you ask 1000 people they will tell you as a group where that person fits on the scale. That's objectively beautiful, and most members of society will likely agree. That commonality dictates whether someone is conventionally beautiful or not. The individual decides whether he or she agrees with the groupthink about that person and then acts according to their own tastes. They see subjective beauty. So, if you consult the larger group most people (but not everyone) are going to find Salma Hayek to be more beautiful than Rosie O'Donnell, for example. There will always be some who will find Rosie to be hotter, but Salma will be more conventionally beautiful to most people and current societal standards. Some people here are arguing about subjective individual beauty and some are arguing societal conventional beauty and treating them like they're the same thing, but they're not. So yes, all women are beautiful to somebody, but not everyone is beautiful or as beautiful to the majority. I personally think that only the subjective view is important, and I like who I like and to Hell with everybody else, but even I will admit that what I like isn't always in line with what everyone else does, and I can understand relative scales for each side, even if I don't always personally agree with them.
