tony1 118 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 My husband's cousin's daughter (hope you followed that) was a Page 3 girl several years ago. That branch of the family did appear to be very proud of the fact. The girl's then boyfriend was less enamoured by it and slashed the poor girl's face with a razor, disfiguring her for life! Really? What was her name? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Some of the models did very well for themselves, Linda Lusardi and Gail McKenna spring to mind. I worked with Linda on Wayne Dobson's A Kind Of Magic and have to say she was a very nice lady, easy to work with and no side at all. I suppose really its like any job, its what you make of it.

MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 If women want to publicly degrade themselves that's fine by. I'm not a feminist by any means. Merely stating my opinion. I'd rather be in a job earning minimum wage than publicly shaming my family mind. Bet these 'models' Fathers/brothers never get a minutes peace. Oh and also #24 it's not jealously. I would much rather be me. Thank you. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 "Feminist: Woman who is jealous of other women getting all the attention" What, for getting her **ts out"?

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 There are topless bars, topless restaurants, even people topless and bottomless in nudist colony's. When I lived in Wollongong, it was common to see topless bathers of the female gender on the beaches, worst I saw was an elderly topless lady who was nearly tripping over her boobs, didn't know whether to have a laugh or vomit. LOL These days female nudity is so common, TV/Movies come to mind, I don't see a problem with it anymore than topless men, just one sex has larger "pectorals"..errr boobs. Over this side of the pond women are trying to make it a right to breast feed in public, is that any worse than page three of the Sun?? Has any of you objectors seen what the ladies wear on the beach these days??? I don't know why they bother with those skimpy bits of rag they call swim suits, the tops just cover the nips, and the bottom doesn't even hide whats supposed to be hidden...LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Trying to make it a right to breastfeed in public? It's a natural, asexual function, so why not? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a natural, asexual function, so why not?I don't understand where these old fashioned benny hill men come from ...Mars ?New men would find these women distasteful........ It's not about feminism, it's about modernism 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 370 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Haven't breasts and news always had a close association? I always assumed that was what "Keeping abreast with the news" really meant. Sorry - I don't mean to offend anyone with this revelation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Why is it wrong for an old lady to walk topless along the beach. She's enjoying the sun like a lot of other, younger ladies. Also, why do people get upset about mothers breastfeeding their babies in public?. It's not as though they throw their tops off and flaunt themselves. It's all done discreetly so I don't know what the problem is. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't read any newspaper myself. I used to take the 'Private Eye' which was at times entertaining and did a good bit of investigative journalism and never had any topless posing, male or female. Men are sometimes photographed posing semi-nude and appear on the T.V. in similar fashion but no one complains about it that I have heard. It was fear of complaints that prevented me doing it myself! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 386 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Tony 1 ,- if you read through Melissa J Kelly`s contributions to this site,you will sooner discover she is far from being a self righteous individual,not nosey,and contributes greatly to others fun. Oh and by the way I am an ardent feminist. (feminist. advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men. ) Real men do not knock the opinions of young women (who it seems from her photo) needs protection from unpleasant critism. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie 39 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I agree with thread #41. I don't know Melissa but have read many of her threads all of which are obviously made by a person who is very caring, compassionate, genuine, level headed and intelligent. Your parents must be very proud of you and equally they must take credit for bringing up such a popular and well liked daughter. Melissa I hope my thread has not embarrassed you, if it has I apologise. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 #41 I also agree. I wonder sometimes, why some members can't put their views without having to be insulting or provocative with it. There's no need, be nice! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm all for equality myself, as long as that is what is meant and adhered to for both sexes. Mind you, I often stir things up a bit in shops and stores, e.g. clothes/ shoe departments etc. by pointing out that women are catered for by about 75% more than for men. I even had this discussion in a 'Body Shop' the other day and a woman assistant asked, 'Well, what else would you like to see us sell for men"? "Nothing really", I said. "I just thought I'd cause a bit of trouble". Tolerance for all is needed I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

... 1,411 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 #41 I find this contridictory that someone supporting feminism amd the rights for women ,then goes on about real men and patrinisingly suggests because of a photo that woman needs a real man to stick up for her ,sorry dont make any sense to me No wonder I get confused,you cannot have it always,let me know when its sorted then I can say something right.
