Page 3 - degrades women or a bit of fun in the morning

As page 3 celebrates 40 years what do we brits think of it?

Erm, what?

What's degradeing 'bout a great pair of t!ts, ay? Brightens me mornin' when I can 'ave a goggle at them beauties over me bacon an' eggs. Gives me it a new meanin' to ol' sunny-side up, ay? Ahahah. Them lasses love it anyway, all that make-up and pamperin' an' all. Their fellas feel like a right bunch of cockerals knowing their missus' got her baps out for the naiton.

Page 3 is a British Magazine that is similar to Hooters in america, except they employ nice-chested women on the covers. Or, they actually are just... topless.

Page 3 is exactly what it is, page 3 of a newspaper in which there is a picture of a topless female.

It's only nice if you're:

A) A young teen.

B) Impressed by the boobs of a rather bland and normal looking female.

There's nothing wrong with this, I'm not raising these points as negatives. Just that I don't see the big deal with page 3 in both directions. I can't see what's so good, or bad, about it.

A woman is choosing to do it, so she's degrading herself if anything.

"A woman is choosing to do it, so she's degrading herself if anything."

I think the question was whether or not the constant nudity of women in public spaces is degrading or not to women in general.
Female nude- and pornmodels actually get paid quite well, so well -shrugs-.
I suppose we're in a grey-area of sorts, with connections to trafficing and prostituion AND the lack of self-esteem among girls and young women who rush off to the plastic surgeon to get a breast-enlargement.

I just recall a couple of years ago when one of DKs leading tabloid-papers instead of the daily topless girl, had a naked man! The uproar, the drama, the shouting...

NOT from women, mind you 😉
So I guess the question to the male viewers are: Would you mind an equally "scantily clad" MAN appearing on the page opposite the half-naked woman?

pfff, if ppl want to buy a tabloid, magazine or news paper with a naked man or woman on it they're free to do so.

They did that for a while, it was called Page 7. Didn't take off.

Couldn't care less if it was a hermaphrodite reptile. I never read that paper, nor would I.

Victor> I suppose it'll come eventually. Women are beginning to enjoy pictures of half-naked men, as that is becoming more "acceptable".

Who knows these things? It’s just a fact that there are far more magazines telling women how they should look – beauty magazines, nudity-pictures, porn-magazines, than there currently are for men.
This – unfortunately – has an adverse effect on the self-esteem of girls and young women, who may end up believing it’s ALL about looks and endowments.
Neither gender benefits from that…

There are tons of male advertisements that do just what you are saying in the end here..........scantilly clad males are all over marketing pieces in the USA....

unlikely given womens newfound power in society due to political correctness.

If not reading a hype, hysteria and down right idiotic mentality driven tabloid (such as The Sun) makes me a snob, then I will shine that badge up and pin it to my bare skin with the pride of a thousand victorious generals.

Believing that paper to be anything other than a societal minus is something to be ashamed of.

there is another phrase very similar to the PC term its BS🙂 Oh and I wish US would lighten up about breasts as well.........come on they are just for feeding babies (and keeping men interested in a conversations about shopping) they're natural🙂

Which they clearly didn't say.

It is kind of ironic isn't it? Women complained "They're not just pieces of flesh you know! They have working brains."

Page 3 model: Yeah, I fink anywon 'oo duzn't support our football team is a traitor.

Brains? Yes. Working? Hmm...
