The BBC have an odd feature page up. What if they ask “feminists took over Nuts and Zoo - check out our clickable ‘lad mag?’”
Their virtual lads mag hardly comes across quite like that. Take Labour MP Claire Curtis-Thomas:
I find myself being quite a fan of Playboy and Penthouse, probably more Penthouse. Obviously it does contain nude women but incredibly well-presented. The world has always presented images of nudity.
The Sport or Zoo or Nuts are far harder, more sexually explicit. The women in these magazines are dehumanised. It is the context, the presentation. I cannot agree to anything that effectively gives carte blanche to things that are highly dangerous and obscene and treats women as a commodity which you can do anything to in order to improve your profits.
