Tweeting pictures of topless women to campaigners/ HH etc

Totally agree with edna and house.

It's what happens all the time.

Man/boy does something sexist at woman/girl (shouting "get your tits out" at her on the street would be a relevant one here)

Man/boy gets shown he has gone a bit far this time - whether by the object of harrassment or by a 3rd party

Man/boy responds that he was "only joking" in one way or another. Depending on the "importance" of the person who calls him out it will be framed differently. If it's the object of the harrassment (who turns round and tells him to fuck off / bursts into tears / says they are going to report him etc) it's "fucking hell can't you take a joke love" and if it's a more "important" person who calls him out it will be "boo hoo poor me I was only trying to have a bit of fun and now it's all gone wrong".

Honestly all women and girls have seen both his original behaviour and his subsequent non apology loads of times. He is an unmitigated wanker and a sexist pratt.

Death threats? I wonder how many men have been killed by angry feminist women, on behalf of the feminist cause, through history.

is 'but I received a death threat' now the get-out clause for every misogynistic institution in the land?

I know where Nick Ferrari lives

Wow, where to start with that "apology"...

He mentions Lazarus and Icarus to try to sound intelligent (but clearly isn't), doesn't get it at all, uses excuses abusers use, and thinks we just need to lay off him now. Oh dear.

He mentions he has been called a cockwomble - do you reckon he's seen one of the threads on here?

I wonder what would happen if everyone who has been as horrified as I have been at The Sun's actions went ahead and bought a single share of News Corp and acted in concert to get rid of Murdoch?

I have to disclaimer and mention I have no idea how shares work, and 60-70% of shares have no voting rights (presumably because you need a certain percentage to have a say), but if enough were transferred temporarily to a feminist group surely something could be done?

Point is 50% of the world is female, and that is a staggering amount of power when you stop to think about it. Put in that context the billions of dollars that News Corp is worth it's actually quite tiny next to that.

His idiotic harassment reminds me of being chased around a school yard by boys brandishing the Sun's page 3 trying to get us girls to kiss it. His blatant misogyny only proves what we already knew; this kind of image has been used to put women in their (decorative) place for a while. It isn't all that harmless when it is being used to harass women. Only an ignorant moron would act in a way that proves his opponent's point so neatly. Sharp as cotton wool.

Interesting.

@notthatsharpe is pretty funny though - although almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

He's now deleted both tweets.

So, not only about the shittiest PR person in the history of PR, but also a big fat coward.

The only people who tweeted him to tell him what a jerk he was being were MEN!

Partly because he's blocked all the women who would have pointed and laughed at him, but also because please god this stunt by his present employer has turned even men against Pg3. Apart from the Neanderthal mouth breathing type, who have been merrily tweeting everyone in the world to call them ugly, jealous cunts.

Staggering. That's their pr man?!

My friend who works at the sun says they had/have no idea what's going on at all.

Housewhere

I agree. Teachers, priests have always included s few bad eggs who would abuse.

But times change. Today teachers are trained. Safeguarding is a buzz word. Betrayal of trust is something teachers are given lectures on. It is not 1954.
And yet. And yet. Page 3 undermines all the lectures on betrayal of trust and safeguarding. Because Page 3 telegraphs that all women are sexual beings who take pride and pleasure in being objectified by men.

Yes he did think it was funny.

He thought it was funny to tweet topless pictures of women to people who have said that they do not agree with page 3.

hahhahahahahaha

Ah but greythorne - what are you thinking? The scandal is that these young school girls are grooming the teachers - thanks to Judge Greenberg for pointing that out to us deluded people who thought that it was a clear case of underage sex and abuse of a position of trust. Silly us!

It seems I am still inhabiting the bizarre upside down world that began when Ched Evans was claimed to be the "real" victim, and I'm feeling an alignment with Kay Burley.

I guess he thought it was funny especially since the model is winking with a big smile, I think it's more of a case of trying to mock them with an immature "haha page 3 is still here" as opposed to sexual harrassment

I saw the tweet. The pic has been cropped so only the winking model's face and shoulders are visible. The recipients won't see her breasts

The scandal du jour is the catalogue of teachers who have abused girls by having sex with them.

I can't believe more people don't make the link between the objectification of young women on Page 3 and elsewhere (women reduced to their physical appearance, women demeaned for male sexual pleasure, women identified by their body measurements, women made two dimensional with no voice, no opinions etc etc) and the fact that some teachers now see girls as sexual targets, and really can't see anything wrong with having sex with girls they claim have consented. Page 3 reinforces these deluded men that all women and girls - no matter who they are, what trust should be in place - are available for sex.

This is disgusting.

Does Dylan Sharpe have a wife? A daughter? A mother? How would he like strangers to tweet them naked pictures of women? Would they find it amusing?

What a nasty juvenile little inadequate. He needs to be sacked.
