A lot of you have said that it's ok for women to be photographed for these magaizines (read; nuts/zoo and the like - happy to consider the fact that FHM may not fall under the same catagory) as long as they werent 'forced in to it'

A lot of people would see this as physical force or similar.

I would agrgue that women who go down this path HAVE been forced in to it through brainwashing; being made to think it is all they are worth.

Also; with regards to the arguement that no one minds when women have topless men in magazines so this is double standards... Men havent suffered hundreds of years of being oppressed and degraded because of their sex so it is NOT the same at all.

Ps the thing about making 'girls' (WTF? Girls?! infantilizing) think they are in a competition to WIN a photo shoot! "Take your clothes off for us for free and be really sweet and friendly then once we've discovered which one of you our readers prefer, and therefore the one we will make most money out of, you can take your clothes off for us all over again... for free!!!" Yipppeeeee

Hmm, Im posting quite angrily today, quite unlike me!
