Very quietly, it would appear.

I totally agree that the other magazines are very damaging - but it wasn't boys huddling round a copy of Cosmopolitan pointing, laughing, making lewd remarks and grabbing at my boobs as I walked by at 14 was it.

Nope, it was the Sun (or the Sport if they were really lucky)

Luckily we can campaign and care about both.

"Magazines like Heat shaming people for not being perfect are the real problem that should be swept away."

why not start a campaign for that then? i'm sure you would have plenty of support from feminists

i actually thought your first comment about women who model on page three being out of a job was a joke, but it seems not

^^ That's good. It would be a shame for middle class women to see working class women who aren't so smart out of a job, just so they can take away a bit of fun for men in the morning. This whole campaign was misguided when women's magazines and all their obsession with weight loss, cellulite etc do FAR more damage to women.

Great start, with a long way still to go.

They haven't replaced page 3 with a page of what passes for news in the Sun, just pictures of women in underwear. And the online version will still publish topless pictures. So I don't think there'll be a queue of glamour models outside the Job Centre this morning somehow.

I wonder if sales figures will go down?

Yes, I am birdo. Better now while they are young and can get an education to support in middle age and not in 20 years time when they've made no money and they're cv is a bunch of tit pics.

Am I cynical in wondering if theyve chosen this timing for the "anti censorship" stories that in wake of recent events are sure to follow? Then a triumphant return to 'show the terrorists they can't win'?

Good news!

Birdo83 · 20/01/2015 07:41

I hope you lot are happy to see all those women out of a job.

NaiveMaverick · 20/01/2015 07:33

Wow! Brilliant news.

I can't believe it.

glenthebattleostrich · 20/01/2015 07:28

Well they are hardly going to announce it, can't have those nagging wimmin thinking they've got their own way!

Good news and a great start
