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?

As women we tried to look out for each other under the shit circumstance.

In my life time I have personally supported two people to come out of sex work. I let them come to my house, stay and get back on there feet. Encourage them to look forward in there life and did not judge them for what they had done.

At collage I watched as one person I knew descended into making pornography to subsidise there degree, I spent a great deal of time and effort trying o dissuade that person. We were both skint and they tried to get me into it as well. I chose to clime the wall and eat from the out of date food skip behind a super market and squat.

That person made it very clear that it was there choice and I was being judgemental and interfering in there life. It made me very sad, there was nothing I could do. I have also met women who had no financial reasons or coercion from male partys. They actually got off on doing it, they we exhibitionist. It was the form there sexuality took.

I recommend you start a thread to see how many women on MN would knowingly have a sex worker round there house.

You want to get women (and men) off the game; you make it easer for them to rejoin mainstream society.

I think you will find most feminists do want to help sex workers get off it and prosecute the bastards who use them. I have never seen anyone be anti sex worker. Only anti the pwrverts who pay to use womens bodies.

Poppy project rocks.. Fantastic stuff. There used to run a van with tea and condoms down our end, I really should get off my lazy arss one day and see what I can do for em. Readdress the balance of my badness shall we say..Well off to make tea.

Thank you for your input, I have quite allot of food for thought.
Much respect to you all.

Motherfunster,
I'm confused by the premise of this thread. If legislation comes into force to prevent people in your industry from saying DC's face looks like a tit then surely it applies to everyone?

You're not suggesting the legislation prevents just women from saying it, no that would be silly... so where's the problem? If both men and women are no longer able to use certain material how are you disadvantaged by this, as a woman?

You said this new legislation is a problem because you've tried hard to break into a male-dominated industry and it might affect your ability to choose the material you want, but again, that would apply to the men too....

Or are you saying that you really aren't as good as the men without using the word tit?

okay... saw that it all ended politely. Please ignore my last post

Yes it is unacceptable. Mainly because judging someone by their appearance is pointless. People on here might not like George Osborne's nose and David Cameron's face but I'm sure judging their policies would be a lot more beneficial to everyone concerned. Perhaps they themselves wouldn't like the posters' noses or faces, do people on here think everyone should judge you on that too? Would you like it if someone did it to you? The whole mocking people for their looks which they can do nothing about lowers the tone of everything it is brought into.

As for using a slang term for something female, it's no worse or better than using one for something male. If you want to call someone a cock, they have every right to call you a tit. Men are no better than women, women are no better than men, so is the OP saying that it's alright to say David Cameron's face is like a cock but not a tit because that's derogatory to women? Are you serious??? If a woman was being mocked for her looks would this be as acceptable as apparently it is to mock a man? There's nothing wrong with how either of them look. I wish people could just get over this obsession with criticising looks all the time. It's no longer accepted to criticise skin colour, it's no longer accepted to criticise sexual orientation, can we please get over the idea it's alright to criticise physical appearance?
