I agree nightowl, it gives the lie to those who say feminism is a spent force. What is surprising is how much resistance there is to those who speak out about the objectification of women. The way Clare Short was treated was dreadful, but there's been a spate of recent abusive/aggressive and threatening posts on Twitter to younger women who dare to criticise misogyny.

We've been contacted by the No More Page 3 campaign to ask if we'd like to be added to their list of supporters, so we thought we'd put it to gransnetters to tell us what you think about the campaign.
The campaign started in the summer when Lucy Holmes found she couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that the largest female image in The Sun was of a young woman showing her breasts for men, even though Jessica Ennis had just won her gold Olympic medal.
We'd like to know your thoughts on the campaign, if you support it and your reasons behind it - and if you do support the campaign, if you've already signed the petition.
It's just occurred to me that even if for some strange reason someone on here didn't support this campaign, they'd hardly dare say as much. So of course all the responses are going to be 'yes'!
