I have no problem with Page 3. There's nothing wrong with simply appreciating the female form. I have more of a problem with the Daily Mail's far more overt attacks on women (and not just their appearance either) and the shit and nasty "women's magazines" that my GF insists on buying every week. You want to talk about misogyny? You'll find more of it in there than in Nuts.
Hard to say what he'll do as The Sun has a popular website dedicated to their Page 3 girls and I can't imagine they'll just shut that down. But it could end up losing traffic without the newspaper regularly feeding in readers.
They are just breasts - we have all seen them, over 50% of us have them (if you include the blokes ), nobody is being exploited......
Honestly - this country is so prudish. They are only a big deal if society makes them so.
I don't think people are being prudish. Maybe when Page 3 first started but 40 years later it's become quite banal and outdated. As you say, they are just breasts. Big deal. No one's shocked. Just bored I expect. There's more to women than their boobs.
I think the concept of a page 3 girl is a tad dated but I don't have a problem with women wanting to earn a living like that. What does it say about our society as a whole if one of our most popular daily newspapers has a woman on page 3 with her tits out? It's quite easy to find a pair of tits to look at if you have access to the internet. Why do we need another pair in our national newspapers?

Plenty of things bore me, being bored of something is no reason to have it banned.

I'm not calling for Page 3 to be 'banned' as such (there are lots of places you can access images of topless women if you really want to) but for it to be axed and replaced by something else - like a TV show that's reached the end of the road.

It could be replaced with, hmmmmmm, now let me think. A newspaper... so they could replace it with news!
Men who spend their whole day worried about if the missus catching them looking at a pair of knockers.
Men are so limp these days.
My GF would have a cheek having a go at me for looking at a woman's body. She spends more time doing it than me. Women's magazines are terrible. Men's magazines reduce women to a pair of tits, women's reduce them to a pile of flaws.

Aint nothing wrong with a fit healthy woman flauting her body for men to erghhh 'look' at, If she is happy doing this, Why should anyone stop her.

"Down with this sort of thing."
Alastair Campbell has also signed the petition.
No person associated with freedom and openness in the press or public life, he.
I agree with this. The Sun should also bring back the page & fella to make things equal for women to look at.
They won't though - too many workman complained because their women were gorming over half naked man pics.
I hope they get rid of it so no one will every buy the Sun again.
Women deserve to be taken seriously, not reduced to a couple of mounds of flesh.

Never really seen a problem with it i suppose, but each to their own

Has anyone claimed otherwise........even page 3 doesn't uphold this view, if it did - the photo would be just breasts - not the whole woman
A surprising amount of men seem to be against it.
