Yes! Lib Dem calls to ban page 3

[salsafan]

But why do you have the right to judge someone else for showing off their beautiful body. Also you don't have to look at it, so it isn't rubbing it in anyones face is it!

I think I know who has the hang up...

From Wiki:

 

When he relaunched the flagging Sun newspaper in tabloid format on 17 November 1969, Rupert Murdoch began publishing photographs of clothed glamour models on its third page. The first edition featured that month's Penthouse Pet, Ulla Lindstrom, wearing a suggestively unbuttoned shirt. Page Three photographs over the following year were often provocative, but did not feature nudity.

 

On 17 November 1970, editor Larry Lamb celebrated the tabloid's first anniversary by publishing a photograph of 20-year-old German model Stephanie Rahn in her "birthday suit."[1] Profiled from the side, sitting nude in a field with one of her breasts visible, Rahn was photographed by Beverley Goodway, who worked as The Sun's main Page Three photographer until his retirement in 2003.[2][

Is Clare Short a lesbian?

 

I don't think so, but rickiethetroll says that she is because she wants to ban page 3, and as we all know if any woman wants to ban page 3 girls then they must be lesbian.

Comments such as the ones below are neither funny nor edifying. They're predictable tripe usual spouted by neanderthals with serious attitude problems towards women and those lacking in grey matter

 

Funny how the only people who want to get rid of page 3 are either gay men (this failed MP) or ugly old lesbians (Clare Short).

 

What jealous little people they come across as.

 

Spoken like a true ugly bird:hihi:

 

 

Maybe some women are totally comfortable with going about their everyday business and being leered and jeered at. I am certainly not and I know plenty of women feel the same way and find it at best an invasion of their privacy and space and at worst, intimidating and threatening.

You'd think they might have more pressing matters to worry about than whats printed in a newspaper..

 

Who's 'they', the Lib Dems? Is sexism not important? As trivial though this issue may seem to some, think carefully about broken window syndrome.

Incidentally how many gay people are there in the House of Commons?

 

There are currently only 13 openly lesbian, gay or bisexual MPs in the House of Commons. This figure represents just 2% of all 646 MPs. Treasury actuaries have estimated that 6% of the UK population are lesbian, gay or bisexual. If the House of Commons were representative of the wider population there would be 39 lesbian or gay members.

Time to page images that sexualises women in a medium which is not appropiate ? The Sun is a "family newspaper" ? Right.

 

What is your opinion on this controversial subject ?

 

Which medium is appropriate for sexualising women?

Do you find it acceptable to harass women? Do you do it yourself? (am assuming that you are a male).
