CG: astronomy gathering safe for children ?

This all started because I was concerned about a web site linked to from
this group that clearly degrades women, causes them to be thought of as
objects of male lust, and suggested wanting a woman was the same as
wanting
a new telescope.

You have the typical "holyer than thou" attitude. No one forced that female
to do that. SHE IS A WILLING
MODEL and gets paid for it. Now why or how they chose astronomy and a
MeadeLX to show off I don't
know, but I woud think the Meade corporation should have something to say
about it. I highly suggest someone
send that link to the Meade corporation and show them what some are doing
with their products.

Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I doubt there is little Meade could do
about this use of their product but then again you never know. As too your
other points.: We can only hope the model is willing (I can't imagine that
being the case I simply can't imagine a woman would debase herself as this
one is doing without some sort of threat behind it all).
As for getting paid: Not everything that pays money is worth doing my
friend.

Sexuality has no place in astronomy if it is to be a wholesome family
activity. If we go down that path it will become nothing more than another
filthy modern pastime like much of TV and bird watching has become in the
eastern part of the country. I recently read an article about how these
parties are being used as a cover for a very unsavory activity.

Boy, you are so right!! I read the same article....it is outrageous!!
It's hard to believe, but it was in print, so it must be correct.

Who would ever have thought that such innocent creatures as BIRDS would
indulge in such actives involving crude sexuality!! And then--to hear
that people are gathering to observe them!! I wonder if the birds are
getting paid for their involvement?? I have to believe that something
or someone corrupted them---probably a result of attending too many star
parties.

I respect you for keeping you wife and children from looking at
birds---you're bearing up well under such a responsibility. I'm sure
you've not allowed your wife and children to look upward and risking
seeing those wanton birds. Just a word or caution---looking downward
has some terrible implications.......are you aware of the things ants
are doing!?!
