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!

at K8.

I'm almost sad I have to go out tonight.

Do you make him eat it any way LRD? Or just nipple a bit against his bare chest?

Make sure you wear a really low cut top in case you see any men. It's for their own good. You, obviously, don't matter.

Crikey, buffy it all happens to you.

nipple? Oh my word. That should say nibble!

Clearly the force is strong within me! ( . )( . )

Oh yes. Low cut top, celery stick in the cleft of me boobs, and my copy of The Female Eunuch to twat around the heads of any men I see.

And a pipe LRD. I always think if a woman really wants to be taken seriously she not only needs to be topless and submissive, but if she can also be smoking a pipe that adds the necessary gravitas to a situation.

or sucking a lolly, seductively. Nothing says intelligence like a chupa chop

You are a woman full of surprises, K8, I never pictured you with a pipe. Does Wills like it?

I don't think women should try to look intelligent.

NO that's true, if we did anything could happen, like, erm

oh I dunno, it's all beyond me

It's his pipe.

Not me. Bleeagh to page 3.

Glad you were all safe, buffy.

It can't be beth's bedtime yet, can it?

Just ask your DH Stealth, I'm sure he can explain it to you in a strong manly kind of way.

I have just clicked onto this thread and having read:

I feel I've peaked and probably shouldn't read any more LRD.

Beth had to go and refresh her lipstick and put a ribbon in her hair ready for her fiancée arriving home.

Wise choice. I should probably stop wasting my time too.

Actually he's away with work. :)

Not sure I can even be arsed but I will [sigh] - go look up intersectional feminism.

I'm not keen on the burka or the Taliban which is why I don't wear a burka nor did I vote for the Taliban.

I'm not going to be white saviour and dictate to Muslim feminists what they should do.

Feminists do speak up about these issues. All the time. I'm not sure why you think we're too vocal and then not vocal enough.

But if non-Muslim feminists are willing to point out the sexism inherent in the Quran, who else is? Muslim women sure can't, because they are theologically forbidden.

aren't*

And I don't just want to pick on Islam, even though it ought to be a religion of particular concern for feminism.

Why isn't modern feminism very vocal on the nonsense teachings of the Vatican surrounding the 'sin' of women who want to choose have sex before marriage? Or use contraception whether in marriage or not!
