Sainsburys Ban on Mags

[beryllium]

So, if Sainsburys are banning those 'boys mags' ie Nuts, Loaded? etc because of female nudity, do they sell The Sport? or The Sun? i have just watched the news, and it seems they want to put the mags in covers....

i just asked my partner at what age he started looking at his granddads Sun, and he said 8!!! surely it's natural.....

To Jump- i was simply trying to throw a little humour on the subject. And for your information i am as far from being any form of mysoginist as you can be. I hold no belif that men are superior or that women are inferior in any circumstance.

And if anything sexism has flipped the other way and its now men who are shunned for women as companies bend over backwards to avoid being "sexist"

Strong example is Sheila Wheels and the like. If a company was set up exclusivly then femenist would be up in arms.

But a company only for women is completly fair?

..the words double standards and hypocrisy come to mind..

lightoftruth, I don't want to debate feminism, but sticking to the what you said in your earlier post, I didn't find it very humorous really.

I don't consider myself a feminist or anything like that, but I disliked your comments, as a woman. So maybe you can be a little more considerate when making such "jokes" in future.

well each person finds diffrent things funny. let us put this conflict of words down to differing comic taste shall we?

Okay then, your comic taste is inferior to mine :)

ok you two!!! white flags pleaseeeee.... thats l.o.t and jump, didn't actually see anything wrong with l.o.t's post, and not mysogenistic at all.... i really dont think these mags are harmful at all.... i think they're for men!!! and boys!!! and i dont think Good Housekeeping fits the male bill, do you?

ok, move the blumin things higher up, i do agree with that, cos of youngsters.... they really do only need to be seeing kiddy wink stuff and harmless stuff till they're old enough or curious enough to start looking....

bit of common sense was all that was needed, so who did say to the staff, "yeah, just put them wherever on the shelves"

the whole thing is laughable.
