I support Page 3, who's with me?

[Beth9009]

This might not go down well, but I cannot accept the campaign to ban Page 3. Here's why:

There is nothing wrong with the naked female body. A woman posing with her breasts on show is not lewd nor is it harmful to children.

Hypocrisy - Page 3 is no different to male models posing shirtless in women's magazines.

Prudishness - People who claim that newspapers should be banned from showing topless women are no different to the Victorians or to people in conservative parts of the world who don't allow women to show bare legs. It's the same principle.

Market mechanisms - if there is a demand for something and a consenting adult willing to supply it, then who is the government to get in the way?

Freedom of choice - if you don't like it, don't buy the Sun!

They're not uptight OP they just don't like you. You're not getting any respect from the men either so you're a bit buggered really.

oopps sorry I posted before grasping the pure bonkersness of the thread.

Male stripper calendar for sale in shop next to female stripper calendar? Not bothered...not going to buy but not bothered.

Daily newspaper which only publishes sexualized images of woman? Massively sexist.

Car magazine that only has female topless models?
Massively sexist. (for one thing what about gay men with an interest in cars? Or - and I know this is out there - women who are interested in cars?)

Sexual liberation = men and women treating each other as equal, and both feeling able to have sex (or choose not to) on that basis

Page 3 = women's bodies being available to all men as a resource, to satisfy their 'needs'

Sexually repressive cultures = women's bodies being available to selected men (i.e. husbands) as a resource, to satisfy their 'needs'

princess ohhhhh a whole series of low blows there

No women's bodies aren't here for men's pleasure. They are there for producing life , for running, swimming, rowing, speaking, eating. For feeling. For thinking. For being a human being.

That's what objectification does. It erodes the empathy towards the woman as being a human being in their own right.

And no I am not denying that sexual pleasure happens. I am saying that is different. And that sexual pleasure certainly doesn't have to be experienced with a man.

Uptight?

Riiiight.

scallop a woman's body is maybe there for the sexual pleasure of the woman who owns it?

Men, definitely. They are less uptight than women lol.

^ And i bet they all just lurve you. Does your DF let them cop a feel? Ya know so they don't go out raping?

PrincessPeashooter - I know reading other threads is verboten but you are 25 have no children (only a DSS BTW is your fiancées ex wife treating you with the respect you deserve yet) are not yet married but you don't work as your fiancée supports you?

Get a job and learn some self respect, then once you've grown up a bit you might start understanding the issues.

Well, thanks for bringing up that I have no children. And no, my fiance's bitch ex-wife does not treat me with the respect I think deserve, regrettably. But that's okay, because I now have a great man who will be my husband and a great relationship with her son, all because she's a cheating bitch who didn't know hoe good she had it. A bit off topic now, aren't we.

Exactly Icebeing. A woman's body is her own.

Not much misogyny there then OP

K8 where are you?

I'm here!

Nowt wrong with not having kids, I don't either. But why not work for a living?

You sound hideously misogynistic. I won't be joining your campaign as I think women should be treated as equals and not here merely for the entertainment of men. Down with fucking Page 3 and all it stands for.

Are you the person who posted in AIBU about sleep overs, rugby and the Ex?

I believe that women should be treated as equals, that's why I support Page 3.

Yes.

Beth where are the naked men in national news? Where is the equality there?

op but page 3 doesn't treat women and men as equals? It only has sexualized women on it?

I have said it twice..but third times the charm:

OP HOW IS PUBLISHING ONLY PICTURES OF SEXUALIZED WOMEN TREATING MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY?

Most tabloid newspapers feature photos of shirtless men.

Bull do they. Nothing like page three exists for woman to oggle at.

Buy a copy of Cosmo and you'll see sexualised images of men. Or open a tabloid newspaper and you'll eventually see a shirtless photo of the latest Hollywood hunk.

Didn't you once get your tits out for a newspaper?

We could start a campaign for equality in the sun - Campaign for Cocks on Page 2?

Selection of nice cocks here
