Someone steer me away from this mindless crap...

Thing is you've just hit the nail on the head. It's a predominantly male frequented forum. It's no different to pub talk or locker room talk. I'll admit now I've been guilty of joining in on the "she's minging" or "I wouldn't touch her with yours" or other such degrading comments. It's a harsh thing that blokes do. It's just the way it is. Women bitch and moan about men just as much behind closed doors - it's just in this instance it's public. It's a shame it's so visible and it's a shame it's offending my friends, but it's just the way it is I'm afraid I want to say sorry, but it's not my fault.
