Women should be free to do what they want with their body, and if that's show off their boobs in Page 3 then so be it. If you don't like it, skip to page 4 (or better yet, don't buy The Sun). Simple.

Tbh I find it mildly amusing that a lot of feminists etc. who are campaigning for more rights/freedom for women, seem to be the main backers of the 'Ban Page 3' campaign. Seems slightly contradictory?

I have no problem with it. I don't read any of those papers but I don't see the reason to stop others that do. If people didn't want it, page 3 girls it wouldn't exist, I don't see anything wrong with it to warrant stopping other people reading what they want. It's not like its new or hidden people buying these papers know what to expect.

The girls aren't being used. They are doing it by choice and are getting paid a lot for a very easy job. They aren't being exploited any more than they are exploiting some mens desire to see them modeling.

It may be a news paper but that doesn't mean it can't show anything but news. Almost every kind of media contains a variety of content. We don't complain when newspapers have humourous articles even though comedy isn't news. There are serious papers that focus on pure news, the kind of papers with page 3 are more for entertainment.

My issue isn't with it being degrading to females, because personally I don't care what women do with their bodies and I support Glamour modelling and porn. However, I don't think a national newspaper should have topless girls posing in it :shrug:

It's not to do with exploitation.

Wasn't Katie Price a page three girl and that was her launch to stardom? Imagine how crap her life might have turned out without Page 3...

Katie Price is the exception rather than the rule. Most page three models don't get paid that much unless they hit the big time like Katie which is rare.

I'm making a petition that the OP is an attention seeker who in reality doesn't SLIGHTLY compare to the stunning babes on page 3

Why on earth would be a jealous?

I'm fine with Glamour modelling and porn but I don't agree with topless models in national newspapers whether it's in The Sun or The Times. It's nothing to do with the girls being good looking or me being jealous, and I don't want to be a model :rolleyes:

obviously because I'm not good looking enough but also a have a different career path in mind.

To be fair, seeing a topless chick on the first open page is the only redeeming feature of The Scum.

I certainly wouldn't read it for the journalism, put it that way.

I've been hearing a lot about this petition:
www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/dominic-mohan-take-the-bare-boobs-out-of-the-sun-nomorepage3

and I finally signed it today because I don't see the purpose of page three models. There are Lads mags dedicated for this sort of thing and a quick google search can find you so much more than a topless girl. Also, isn't it the purpose of newspapers to deliver news and not pictures of half naked girls?

I'm curious to see if anyone does support page three, and if so, why? :smile:

Typical authoritarian left wing views on display here. People like the OP are the reason this country is going to pot.

I think it's degrading to girls, to be honest. Women aren't for photographing and slapping on a designated page of a newspaper for men to look at every morning.

Tbh, the women that are on those pages do it of their own free will. I mean, I have no respect for them whatsoever, but it's not like they are being forced to do it, which is what your message implies.

Don't the PC warriors have something better to complain about?

..... you are the one replying to me? Clearly you have nothing to say to my last point since you realised I was right so you're going for ad hominems instead: the last resort of the desperate to argue, who cannot admit when they are wrong.
