No more breasts :'(

I don't read The Sun and I have in fact never bought a copy, I find it crass and and vulgar.


However, the campaign against page 3 represents my hatred of much of the modern left, it celebrates failure, it celebrates mediocrity. This isn't about protecting women, it's about unattractive girls and their seething jealousy of beautiful ones. A similar thing is when guys who never get girls, complain that women are sluts, they are not angry that women are sluts, they are angry that women don't want to be sluts for them.


If you want equality, put a man with a muscular body on a different page - something for the women to enjoy

I don't buy magazines, actually, and it's because I don't like the gender-stereotyped content. Thanks for assuming that I personally am stupid when you know nothing about me.

I'm not a misandrist. I believe in gender equality, which is why I dislike the fact that women are constantly pressured to look good for other people. It so happens that men are generally the ones in charge in the press industry. It's also possible for women to have internalised misogyny, which I believe is largely the case for these magazines whose editors are female. I don't read them, but the front pages always seem to be about impressing men, and if women are being told by other women that their self-worth is directly proportional to how they are viewed by a man, then we have a problem.

This isn't meant condescendingly, but a lot of people don't realise that there actually is such a thing as looking good for yourself. My self-worth isn't tied to how other people react to my appearance. I rarely wear make-up, but if I feel like wearing it, then I will. I'm not trying to impress anyone by presenting myself in a way that I personally like.

Well, as a woman I'm quite happy about this. Hopefully men will stop objectifying us so much in future.

Jeez, that's not what I said. I said that magazines are targeted towards different genders that way because men put pressure on women to "look good for them", and generally throw a childish tantrum if a woman says she wears make-up and nice clothes for herself and not for a man's approval.

The 'men are objectified too argument' is incredibly weak. Men just aren't objectified as much as women. Men in media are portrayed as the ideal. They aren't there to be fantasised about, but to be fantasised as. Huge difference. Watch any action movie or advertisement involving topless men. They are there most times for men to wish they were the muscular and powerful man that Is being portrayed.

Mmm, because there are no magazines in existence that portray men as Adonis or Hercules.

That door swings both ways, so don't open it if you can't handle that fact. And no, "women have it worse" is not a valid argument unless you arbitrarily perceive Feminism as a pissing contest.

Those men are portrayed as idols, not as objects. It's not a fair comparison.

I see those men as objects, and those women as idols.

One last time:

The Sun never to my knowledge had a basement of hot girls shackled to the walls. They go on page 3 because they want to and now because of some loudmouth feminazi ramblers they no longer can.

Those men are portrayed as idols, not as objects. It's not a fair comparison.

Pretty sure one of the magazines, heat maybe? Has a 'torso of the week'
