"Lads Mags" to be covered in modesty bags in national UK store - discussion about censorship

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Has anyone ever complained about the topless Page 3 models that The Sun prints in every newspaper?

Yes, there's this http://nomorepage3.org/

They tried a male version for a while in the UK, page 7 or something, but it wasn't popular.

I don't imagine page 3 will be around for much longer

It's another problem with this focus on lad mags only - when breasts etc are available in several newspapers and bikini clad celebs on the covers. Plus of course what you can also see on some women's mags

Fair enough, just I remember that during some Sexism Row on Sky Sports or something, they had a HUGE piece on bad mouthing the dude who made the comments...

Then had a pin up poster of a topless blonde on the next page.

I just find it weird more parents and conservative groups aren't up in arms about it compared to other issues.

I have no problem with the campaign, I find the concept of page 3 rather fatuous - especially with the opinion boxes they've added "Debbie, 19, wonders why the Israelis and Palestinians don't just put things behind them and get along" type stuff.

As for the sky sexism row - as far as I remember there were two guys making sexist comments off camera and I think they both lost their jobs. Look on ITV and try watching Loose Women and wonder why it's ok for them to make sexist comments live on air week after week.

It's almost as if sexism is treated as something only men do to women. With people like Mr F around that's hardly surprising.

I only want the same treatment - reward and punishment - applied equally to both sexes, but somehow I'm the one who gets called sexist. Funny, isn't it?
