Very quietly, it would appear.

Possibly not, for he is shrill of voice.

Your arguments are emotional and lack logic

you had me going until you said that - well played :)

Hounds - it's a start, getting the scantily clad women out of the papers is a much bigger, harder target - did you see that video someone posted recently where they'd cut out all the pictures of men and women for some amount of time, then pasted them all on the wall - it was depressing the stark difference in the mens' wall and the womens'

It doesn't feel like a start to me, it feels like I a cynical, calculated missing of the point by The Sun's PR team. And I think it will be back 'by popular demand' in less than 6 months.

TheHoundsBitch · 20/01/2015 17:54

Maybe I'm the cynical one... Grin

"he is shrill of voice"

Possibly because someone has him by the giant testicles, chockbic?

Yeo that will be Victoria.

Can I just say that that article was fucking hilarious. Really really funny. That anyone would be stupid enough to suggest it as an argument for men of any bent needing to see teenage girls bare breasts in a so-called newspaper is rather sad though, and shows a marked lack of critical thinking skills. Or thinking skills of any kind.

Just for info. The S*n's 'sister' paper in Ireland dumped the bewbs in 2013. No Irishmen's dicks fell off as a result. Not one. The paper's figures didn't go down either.

If you want to get cross with someone making all those poor teenagers unemployed, have a word with Uncle Rupert. I'm sure he's all over finding them gainful employment, he's all about the empowerment of women, innit.

I'm fairly sure I could find a blog post to back my assertions up not one I'd have written though, oh no

Still giggling about the putative prehistoric fertility goddess being what 'cavemen' jacked off to. Couldn't possibly be that those statues represent a heavily pregnant and therefore fecund female figure, could it? Nope, must be the 'caveman' version of a spank mag.

Birdo may well explode if he ever sees any pictures of Diana of Ephesus. All those breasts.... must be super sonic Greek wank fodder.

Consider yourself middle class, Downstairs?!

YonicScrewdriver · 20/01/2015 23:18

Tell him he has small, bald testicles, of course!

BobbyDarin · 21/01/2015 01:24

Good news and about time too.

I do think though that this was never really about feminism or page three, but instead it was about sticking one to Murdoch (which is fair enough - but why not say so?) People are now talking about trying to target Mail Online's sidebar of shame. Yet no mention of the Daily Star which still has page three and has a circulation of about 500,000 last time I looked. If it really was about tits in newspapers then people wouldn't be talking as though the campaign has ended or needs to look for a new target. It feels like this isn't part of a sea change in attitudes but a token that has symbolic power for a day or two, like toppling Saddam Hussein's statue.

I'm amazed that people are bothering to engage with an evo-psycho bird-brain...

I mean, seriously ... 'mair'...???!! Grin

Even spell-check doesn't like that word.

Birdo83 · 21/01/2015 11:57

I'm not trolling. I just don't see what's wrong with looking at pretty boobs in the same way you look at pretty flowers or artwork?

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 21/01/2015 12:02

Because women aren't decorations, solely there to please your eyes?

Pretty Welsh name is 'Mair'. We got 2 working at my firm - making up a fifth of the workforce. I don't think either read the Sun.

Um, because it would be hilarious to read, I'm sure could you please point me in the direction of one your well written articles explaining that while men like to look at breasts, women like to look at flowers and art?

I'd look myself but google is really only for the logical and my uterus keeps distracting me

YonicScrewdriver · 21/01/2015 13:33

Birdo, did you petition for p3 to be replaced with Manet's Olympia et al, to get boobs and aesthetics at once?
