Why all the fuss about whether or not the Sun newspaper (a misnomer if ever there was one!) should continue to feature topless women on its page 3? Models willingly promote their careers by appearing topless and the public willingly purchase the paper. It’s called supply and demand and as long as there is no element of coercion and the models are all adults what is the problem?

Certainly, the majority of  the models interviewed in the more adult newspapers have no qualms over revealing themselves, with one stating that a ban “isn’t a triumph for feminism but a triumph for prudishness”. Another model complained of being dictated to “by comfy shoe-wearing, no-bra-wearing man-haters”, which, looking at some of the feminists appearing on our television screens, may be a fair description.

The whole story smacks of political correctness and the Sun is an easy and obvious target for those wishing to regulate our morals. There are far worse examples of sexual exploitation out there and the activists perhaps need to direct their considerable energy and anger towards more serious matters such as the eradication of child prostitution or the ending of the universal availability of hard core porn on the internet.
