postheadericon Rupert Murdoch's Page 3 is not the worst example of sexism in the media | Hadley Freeman

course, the sun must get rid of page 3, but is a less misogynistic rage now in the British media

excoriating anti-Netanyahu Gerald Scarfe - unlike Semitic - Cartoon on Israel as "grotesque offensive," Rupert Murdoch, Andy Rooney on Twitter, said he believes that the page 3 models are "so last century," suggesting that "halfway house with glamorous fashion." It's always good to hear from Australia to Andrea Dworkin, seen here on his breathing was clear that the solution is to replace the "last" century breasts for a couple more class. That's The Feminine Mystique, which, like a tweet.

rid of Page 3 - even if it was then replaced by other masturbation fodder - as would do little to improve the representation of women in the media as complaining cartoon ago Scarfe for fight against anti-Semitism. Ultimately, for Murdoch, both tweeted gestures are a little more jazz hands, to divert a larger image.

Obviously, Page 3 is ridiculous and anachronistic, and it never ceases to amaze my American friends when they come to the UK (although I'm not quite sure why this should be surprised since most of them the city comes from Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, which is no slouch itself by reducing women to sex objects). Dominic Mohan, editor of the Sun, the Leveson insisted hear that women are Page 3 "model", a statement which marks so strongly in issues of "clumsiness" of Murdoch as suggesting that all would be well if the pretty girls just to a mini-skirt Roberto Cavalli. And Page 3 is not without its female fans: Julie Burchill wrote, as far as I could see through the illusions that the ban Page 3 Britain become a nation of "Islamo-fascism." If you do can judge a story by its defenders, Page 3 has been sentenced to long life.

When Clare Short protested Page 3 in 1986, the Sun was the answer, and an article entitled "Page 3 Fat jealous Clare Porn brands." Mohan generously Leveson research has suggested that it was "probably not something that I go now." Emphasis on "probably" because his role vicious consistent coverage Diane Abbott, who has been described as "stupid" and "fish and chips." Women are not appropriate mouthy women, you know. Not like those nice and calm on page 3.

The problem of shortage of female bylines in the British press, in my opinion, something like a joke considering how misogyny is pronounced by the chroniclers of many women, especially in the tabloids, which often act as Trojan horses for the condescension of newspapers and cruelty. Publications that are specifically for women, such as the Daily Mail and Femail section of women in the sun, usually consist of little more than the celebrity obsession snarkiness and the female body. To say - like the sun and the mail they have in the past - that is balanced by the campaigns against domestic violence and awareness of breast cancer, it is like telling someone that should not matter your house burns down because he just put in an alarm system.


Page 3
must obviously be set. It is a national shame and perhaps the most stupid example of women who are judged by their bodies in the media, and this is an area completely full. But there is more to the misogyny of newspapers nudity.
