Retailers are being warned they could face legal action if they continue to sell magazines showing naked and semi-naked images of women.

Pressure groups and lawyers say displaying the magazines or requiring staff to handle them could amount to sexual harassment or discrimination.

Campaigners say shops could be in breach of the Equality Act 2010

Then they better ban every single movie which has a naked or a semi-naked woman in it..

I don't like pr0n (my attitude being 'less is more'), but this is bloody ridiculous. If you're scanning in top shelf mags at the checkout and you don't like what you see, then don't look at the damn thing. Put it straight into the customer's shopping bag. I'm sure we all did paper rounds when we were teenagers delivering The Sun and even worse the Daily Star. Was I offended? Sheeesh. Bugger off left wing!

As others said, nowadays, the internet is for pr0n.
 
This is getting out of hand.

Men like to look at scantily clad women.

This will never change.

I don't like football but I'm not going around whinging that it should be illegal.
 
UK Feminista director Kat Banyard said so-called lads' mags fuelled sexist attitudes and behaviour by portraying women as "sex objects".

I reckon If all kinds of porn was banned there would be far far more rapes

If only there was some way of doing so without having to walk into a garage far away from where you live, wearing sunglasses, and handing a dirty magazine to the shop attendant, whilst feeling like a perve.

One day we will have the technology...
 
And beaches.
And the internet.
And *cough* gentlemen's clubs.

Actually, leave the gentlemen's clubs alone, purely as a reminder to all us males how degrading it is to women...:rolleyes:

What really makes me laugh is this

There never anything written about how much women love blokes looking at them...;)
They don't wear skirts up there ass and very low tops to keep cool..

What about child porn then?

Did you just argue that it should be legal?

No, you know forewell he didn't argue that. They're completely different scenarios as porn is made by consensual adults in an industry that is regulated and taxed, whereas child porn is grotesque and made by filthy pigs using children against their will.

He said "all kinds of porn". Not "all kinds of legal consensual porn".

I was really just being facetious anyway.

Nice of you to stand up for some random person on the Internet though.

I don't understand. Women are sex objects :confused: I certainly don't look at a bowls of fruit as sex objects.

But child porn is already banned. You took what he had to say out of context purely to poke a reaction.
