If I used breast imagery in a pictorial political satire i.e. David Cameron’s face looks like a tit, is it unacceptable and like the use of breast imagery in a lads mag?

Wikileaks in adult content block in OZ www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2009/mar/19/wikileaks-banned-australian-websites

As a woman who has broken into a completely male dominated media I consider my actions to be from a very deeply held feminist ethic. These proposals will result in my work being censored. Fucken great. You will be aware of the satirical cartoon tradition which is vulgar and filled with toilet humour, this is a fail on epic proportions, this is moralising in the guise of feminism.

This will affect freedom of speech.

You'll be censored from using parts of a women's body to insult people? I'm not sure whether that is true but I don't give a flying fuck even if it is. I'm sure you can think of another word to use. If you're a female satirist I'm sure you can come up with some others. There are quite a few words around, and some of them are not sexist.

So if the right end up legislating on things feminists agree with, from a different starting point, we should then abandon what we think. Hmm

These are proposals, they are not law

It isn't censorship, rather age restriction - videos, magazines, websites etc will still be,able to contain sexual content but it will be less available to children

What are your objections to these proposals motherfunster?

You have played into a right wing agenda well done, I am a female satirist and will be censored too see www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/jun/03/cameron-backed-report-commercialisation-childhood

I object to the fact that womens bodies - breasts - are used in a derogatory manner. To call someone a tit is belittling women and you should use a a cock tbh. to use his own genitalia to insult him
The breast imagary is exactly the same. bringing womens bodies down to the level of insult.
So yes to answer your qustion yes.
