Absolute cobblers, what a ridiculous conclusion. It has nothing to do with "men being in the ascendency" - it would never happen because newspapers do not show pictures of exposes genitals, period.
Ugh.
Certainly. They stop being shrill when they belt up and go and find something thats actually worth publically wringing their hands over. Because wetting the bed "campaigning" over something as trivial as Page 3 is about as useful and worthwhile as a rowing machine in Kemi's spare room.
Really ? I think regardless of Page 3, the people who hold those views actually have some very deep-seated problematic issues of their own. To lay the blame for that at The Suns Page 3 is, IMO, misguided.
You filthy MONSTER
Degrading women, viewing them all as nothing but cheap worthless SLUTS and SEX OBJECTS to satisy your PREDATORY CARNAL LUST

Correct. I can't remember the last time I bought The Sun, so the fact there's no more Page 3 doesn't affect me one way or the other. Pictorial tittage is a highly accessible commodity in this day and age, its as near as makes no difference that it'll no longer be present in "Britains Favourite...
People shouting out "show us yer tits" in the street, or grabbing boobs, or holding up Page 3 and publically grading them, or who would go around grabbing (theoretical) balls if balls were on Page 3, are either immature sub-literate cretins or just genuinely obnoxious oafs. These people will...
So according to Clare Short, Page 3 has been directly responsible for pre-pubescent hormonal schoolboys being obsessed with boobs, as well as several rapes. Blimey. She could probably link it to the Ebola outbreak and the death of Princess Diana as well, if she tried hard enough.
Who needs a temperature gauge on a phone ? Who needs a bottle-opener on a barbecue ? Who needs a clock on an oven ? None of it could be regarded as important or essential...but the fact its there doesn't really do any harm. Just a bit of a bonus. :)
Perhaps. But the smug campaign groups are busily popping the corks toasting their utterly pointless "victory", which is what I find a bit grating.
Maybe sales of The Sun will now plummet as people flock to The Star for their daily helping of wobbly nippledom.
I must admit I do enjoy a sweeping generalisation every now and then.
I suspect the view of the vast majority of the general populations view of Page 3 is very much a "meh". I've never found it worrying, or considered it one of the great ills of our society here in 2015. But a small, shrill...
Well, as said I don't buy The Sun and don't go out of my way to ogle the tits in it. But there's far more disturbing things in The Sun for impressionable youngsters than a girl showing her boobs, as there are in any other newspaper. Stories of of death, destruction, rape, hate, torture, horror...
I'm far from hysterical, but my point stands. The choice has now been removed for the models, and the readers, and that choice has been removed specifically by people who (I assume) never buy that particular rag because they object to it. Yes there's always other papers, and the internet, and...
It never added much to the world in the great scheme of things, neither will its removal bring about some kind of sweeping equality utopia. Its just another little erosion of choice, something thats been removed because some yoghurt-knitting, tofu-munching sandal-wearing Guardian readers got...
Celebrating the removal of choice, sad innit. If they all found it so abhorrent then theres a very simple way it not ever affecting their lives in any way - don't buy the thing. But no, thats not enough, they have to have it removed so NOBODY can make their own choice any more. Pathetic really...
Not overly bothered as I don't buy The Sun, but I'd usually have a cheeky flick to Page 3 if there was one laying around. A victory for the PC brigade I suppose. What was the harm in it ? Is the world a better place now there is no more page 3 ?
"Campaigners celebrating" - I mean christ, how...
