2. The 2 texts that are mentioned in this text are HBO's Pan Am and Beyonce's music video why don't you love me. 

3. The example from Beyonce's music video is that she is openly rubbing her chest whilst looking down at the camera clearly submitting herself to sexual objectification acknowledging the male gaze.  The uniforms that they were in the second texts acknowledges the male gaze as they hair is all geared up and they have make up on which attract males attention. 

4. I believe there is need for everything and there is a need for feminism in the modern society and that is why it is still regarded as a very important subject. Women are still not treated the same way as men and this is something worth fighting for and that is why there is still feminism  


5. Nostalgia- A sentimental longing for the past, often only remembering the positives of the time.

Feminism- A movement aimed at defining establishing and defending women rights and equality of men

Post feminism- an ideology in culture and society that society somehow past needing feminism and that the attitudes and arguments are no longer needed. 

No More Page 3 

1. The campaign was started by a writer Lucy- Anne Holmes 

2. 1) It’s 2014! Page 3 was first introduced in the sexist 1970s. A lot has changed over the last 30+ years in our society, we think it’s time The Sun caught up…

2) It’s soft porn in the UK’s no.1 selling family newspaper that children are exposed to. Until 2003 the models were only 16 (and made to dress up in school ties and hats – seriously!) It’s never been OK. One day we’ll look back on this and think “oh my goodness, we did what?!”

3) What does it teach children? They see page after page of pictures of men in clothes doing stuff (running the country, having opinions, achieving in sport!) and what are the women doing in this society they’re learning about? Not much really, other than standing topless in their pants showing their bare breasts for men. It’s not really fair, is it?

4) Women say, do and think so many interesting and incredible things and should be celebrated for their many achievements. They are people, not things! Not ‘that’. The fact that we hear ‘look at the tits on that’ or ‘I’d do that’ is disgusting, disrespectful and objectifying. Page 3 of The Sun is the icon that perpetuates and normalises this horrible sexist ‘banter’.

5) Every single weekday for the last 44 years in The Sun newspaper the largest female image has been of a young woman (usually of a very particular age, race, physicality) showing her breasts for men, sending out a powerful message that whatever else a woman achieves, her primary role is to serve men sexually. Pretty rubbish that really.

6) The Sun newspaper could be so much stronger without Page 3. Because currently, any story they run about women’s issues such as rape, sexual abuse, harassment, domestic violence or the dangers of online porn is drowned out and contradicted by the neon flashing sign of Page 3 that says ‘shut up, girls, and get your tits out.

3. Susie said that the newspaper is outdated Barbra said that the campaign shouldn't be abandoned because of what sun did the next day on the page 3. 

5. I agree with this campaign because it is relevant and has a point it helps a very important issue and the page 3 demoralises women and this campaign helps restore moral.    

6 I agree where in a post feminism era.
