Ulrika Johnson wows fans by baring all for mental health campaign www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/ulrika-johnson-wows-fans-baring-20858740
Am is missing something here? How are men's mental health issues benefitted by anyone taking off their clothes? The article has attracted some nasty comments about her body and it seems like this is a set back for women somehow when women objectify themselves for the benefit of men. The charity is encouraging men to do the same
www.strongmen.org.uk/campaigns/bare-yourself/
and I get the logic there, although i still find it odd.
I know I'm not explaining this very well but I hope you get my point.

The answer to that NiceGerbil goes back to men think with penis.
Upon 1st glance actually thought it old advert for lawnmower.
Even as someone who follows all things related to mental more so women & girls I just not getting it and I’d be pissed off if it was vice versa.
I see it didn’t take long from splitting FWR up For standards to drop in posters because how many irrelevant nasty comments about her appearance.

@NiceGerbil
If it doesn't work. Why has it been done for such a long time, in so many different forms, all over the world, for such a long time?
Why didn't men say we don't want page 3 or nuts?
Why the pirelli calendars?
Etc etc etc
Sorry but are you in a Tardis? Page 3, Nuts, and Pirelli calendars haven't been around for ages.
This was a stupid idea. It has no relevance to men's mental health.

HOWEVER…
- It makes a nice change to see a non-porn woman’s body photographed doing non-porn things
2. I do kind of sort of get the naked = vulnerable mental health metaphor
Her getting naked has damn all to with mental health. There's no connection whatsoever. The gymnastics of some posters however to defend her idiotic actions are amusing.
