Sun Drops Page 3

[PoppyAmex]

Very quietly, it would appear.

I'm still focusing on the fact that Dylan Sharpe ogles girls barely out of their teens.

I am happy to keep repeating that, in case there's anyone out there not quite registering quite how grim and pathetic he is. :)

The Sun is just a collective of odious, vile, woman hating pricks.

Is it just me that feels suddenly really scared about the direction this country is taking regarding women?
What this latest development is going to is things are going to be 100 times worse because now they are doing it with an even more 'fuck you' attitude and there is a wealth of stupid women defending this drivel and its p3.
I look at the pic on the right of mums net of the two beautiful girls who are my daughters age and i feel so sad that we live in a world where we are pretty much despised for being women.

Feeling really pissed off and disappointed to see that page 3 is back. Don't really have any worthwhile contribution at the moment. Feel very...despondent.

Jodie Marsh wants us to focus our attention on something more important now. She suggests FGM. Would you excuse me while I go and cry in the toilets for a while?

At least we know, now, for sure.

Absolutely.

I think The Sun is made up of people who care substantially more about clicks, sales and profile than about feminism.

This whole debate has been a win/ win for them. The paper edition of The Sun will gradually die. It is old fashioned and young people are not interested in looking at page 3 when they can get hardcore pornography online.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook this morning. Jesus it's depressing. All just 'funny', innit? Like you, SirRaymond, I worry about how little progress we're making in terms of even seeing sexism recognised as an issue.

don't be disheartend, they may have won the battle but they haven't won the war. Stay strong hold the line, and fight the good fight, it can still be done and project all that anger and upset in to the nmp3 in a positive way.

So Dylan Sharpe likes looking at 21-year-olds' breasts

Any straight man who claims they prefer looking at saggy 40+ breasts is either a bit strange or a liar.

Thanks for your input Rich!

they have just shown themselves up to be the absolute cunts that they are.

Also it's allowed a lot of men (not all) to show what absolute cunts they are.

The intent is obvious, to laugh at 'the wimmin' and show them who is boss.

bastards

Thanks for your input Rich
It's true though regardless of which side of the argument you're on. To insinuate that an older man who would prefer to look at a nice perky pair of 21 year old tits is a peado is quite frankly ridiculous.

I agree with poster up thread; this is more about cynical, cold hard publicity, circulation figures and advertising rather than taking any particular moral standpoint.

Very depressing.

And Buffy, if I may be so bold as to move for a moment from epistemology to ontology, what is "perky"? Is it an inherent property of the boob-as-it-is-in-itself, or is it a socially constructed category, or is it a linguistic signifier telling us more about the speaker than about its purported referent?

Part of the campaign for Child's Eyes & No More Page 3 was to contact those advertising in The Sun re. placement of their ads. E.g. Disney's front page ad for Frozen was bove a story about a "Paedo" & with a woman holding up her tennis skirt so you could see her backside - so maybe advertisers pulling out wasn't irrelevant to this campaign. Disney had responded to a NMP3 campaigner by saying they'd be more diligent in future about where their product name was going to be placed.

Cbeebies & Cbeebies Land were quite happy to advertise with a paper that had a "mark of the devil" on their front page though.

This is beyond Page 3 for me - but about the new brand image too. The Sun has to decide if it's a family friendly, "we say who gets to be Prime Minister" paper - or we're a paper where the Head of PR mocks politicians on twitter and don't give a fuck about any of it. Remember this is the paper in the same family as Fox News who spectacularly don't give a toss about the truth.

And all this has happened in the week when the verdicts on the (latest) corruption trial (involving Sun journos) were due to be announced.

Buffy I wondered that too.

The Sun have behaved like an abuser - not saying whether or not they've dropped page 3, letting everyone celebrate after a (possibly leaked) story to sister paper The Times - giving it enough time to gain a good deal of traction and then fingers up to you idiots. Bit of banter, gaslighting & humiliation for LOLs.

It's the sort of male behaviour that radicalised me

"The Sun - For the intellectually, socially and emotionally stunted."

The above quote has been provided by an 18 y/o male (straight) apprentice currently working in my office. So far, the only people I have encountered that are pro page 3 are those that make my vagina want to sew itself up...
