People on Twitter celebrating the "demise" of Page 3, whilst also standing in solitary with Charlie Hebdo and their battle for Freedom of Speech.
You couldn't make it up.

Not that you're generalising much (and indeed having read your responses so far on this thread I'm still not sure you're not actually on an elaborate wind-up). Personally, I'm delighted that Page 3 may be no more, just a pretty seedy thing to exist in a national newspaper at this point in time. And although I may occassionally wear sandals I dislike The Guardian as much as the Dauly Mail

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 minority has seen fit to get it removed for a largely unworried majority, and no doubt a fair few who rather liked it (but are now castigated as drooling perverts if they ever dare admit to it). They could have simply ignored it, but that was never going to be enough for them.
I just find it a bit irritating when people like this win the day.
A victory for the feminist militants and religious right wing nutter types. Another case of censorship and taking away freedom of choice from persons who hold a different point of view.

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.
Ha ha - no one is 'censoring' or forcing The Sun. As if they are not making a calculated business decision based on projected sales / advertising revenue with or without page 3.
Yep, they'll bring it back if sales go tits up, no doubt.Ha ha - no one is 'censoring' or forcing The Sun. As if they are not making a calculated business decision based on projected sales / advertising revenue with or without page 3.

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.
What should we do about women not being treated equally?
"women not getting treated equally" Pretty obvious the Sun isn`t going to treat flat chested Girl equally to well endowed one....wouldn`t sell so many papers
We should always treat women as if they are equal.

Well, presumably, they use the money they make with their bodies to pay their bills which keep businesses running, who continue to employ people who go on to pay their bills and so on and so on.
I'd say 'society' gets its share.
So are they going to ban that Coke ad where the secretaries ogle over the bloke washing the windows without his shirt?
Its one thing having a civilised equal society but we are creatures evolved on survival, tribal and natural selection. Blokes are attracted to pretty young women with busts and boobs and women are attracted to blokes who can provide strong health offspring. I can't help it if the minger doesn't float my boat but I'm blowed if I'm going to be castigated for it.
And it wasn't advertising or society that formed my preference either - over the years I've come to many hair types, different bust sizes and slight or fuller women and I've been attracted to strong dominant women as well as quieter thoughtful girls. I'm only ever put off by evil bitches who tell me what to think and how to live my life in their shadow.
