To try and stop them selling lads mags:

They complain about Smith’s not displaying these mags properly but really they just want them to stop selling them altogether. These campaign is backed up by Object and charlie_grrl.

Haven’t these people got better things to do?

Obviously not.

What these people should be doing, if they dont like naked girls in mags, is trying to stop the girls appearing in the mags! If there were no naked girls, there’d be no naughty mags! Try telling the topless models they should stop earning out of their bodies and see how popular they become.

charlie_grrl says she doesn’t think women being glamour models is liberating. That’s her view but she and her friends have no right to stop other women being glamour models.
There does seem to be a “women shouldn’t be doing that” attitude in the anti-lads mags campaign.

Just seems like someone who is using the “feminism” angle to hide the real motivation behind all this – the fact that she hates men, for whatever reason. Oh no, women show their tits! It’s a disgrace, especially seeing how they’re paid ludicrous amounts of money to do so and do so of their own free will. Long gone are the myths of the drug-addled girls forced to do porn. These girls have the power, and have had it for a while. I don’t see her complaining that they show the Diet Coke adverts pre-watershed, which – if they featured women instead of men – would cause an uproar.

I don’t think she hates men she just hates male sexual desires. Men like attractive looking women, they like breast, butts and legs. And she finds that degrading and offensive.
Well she is entitled to her views but what she isn’t entitled to is for the law to ban men looking at breast, legs and butts because she finds them offensive.
Yes the days of drug addled girls being forced to do porn is gone. The idea that they are being forced to strip off with a gun to their head is a myth peddled by the pro-censorship anti-sex lobby.

Yes these women think that women in bikinis are a sexual threat, why do they not go down to the beach and tell the women to cover up as there is no difference? why do they not complain about the fact that men who go into W H Smiths to look at these magazines and sports magazines also have to look at gay magazines with nearly nude men on the cover and bodybuilding magazines with steroided up men on the front covered in baby oil, what about the pressure that may inflict on men to look a certain way?

Because James it’s male sexuality they have a beef with and male sexuality alone.

Notice how they don’t advertise ahead that they’re going to picket.
The last thing these halfwits need is ME showing up with MY camcorder and making them look stupid, and without the need to edit the video with an almost BBCesque bias agenda to make selected groups look shiny.

Fleshed it out a little.
Rules for anti porn rallies.
1. Never publicise ahead. The risk of other people showing up, making you look stupid, filming it and putting it on YouTube is too great.
2. Never do it on a Saturday or Sunday. The risk of people who work for a living and believe they have earned the right to spend money how they choose is just too great. (If any of our members learn what this “working” is can you let the Sisterhood know so that we may formulate an ill informed response to it please?)
3. Despite all your precautions taken, if anybody with a video camera asks you a question, scream rape. If they can afford a camcorder it is highly likely they know perfectly well how to make you look stupid. You looking stupid on YouTube isn’t going to help our cause.
(Besides if it is a male with a camcorder, he’s probably only bought it to film child abuse anyway. Phone the police. Sudbue the male with a knife attack to the throat to make sure the child rapist doesn’t get away before the police arrive. If it is a female, it is likely they are under influence from international child porn smugglers, offer them the number of the Mothers Against The Opposition Of The Resistance Against An International Police Force Against International Child Porn Smugglers For Women, and xMissAngryMom1963x will make sure that there plight appears on no less the TWO web pages.)
4. If somebody who has a dumb girlfriend who can be tricked into saying something anti porn, make sure you get it on tape so we can all feel better about ourselves. Especially if she is much prettier/dumber than us.
5. Display that which you are protesting against. Now we know this just smacks of hypocrisy, as we know all too well that it isn’t even pornographic, but put simply, sex sells. When people see hot hot babes on your stand they will make a bee line for you, at which point you’ve got your audience. Remember, say as much as you can as fast as you can don’t wait for a response. Capture it on tape, the part where they look dumbfounded by your verbal tirade, with some clever editting will look like they are disgusted at society. Result!
Follow these 5 rules, and your pointless protest will appear on this and many other irrelevant websites as an inspiration to women everywhere. Geographical boundaries are no boundary to women seeking to blame something else for their own failings. With the power of the internet, we shall pat each other on the back, we shall dissemble happiness from even the smallest meaningless action, we shall prevail against our own self loathing!
