# The Sun
isn't safe anywhere.

Personally, as a woman I get fucked off having to sit opposite men on the train looking at Page 3. I'm sure you wouldn't be that happy if everywhere you went women were looking at pictures of men with rippling torsos and massive cocks. Its just a little uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally fine with porn, i just don't see why news papers should have soft porn in them.

# Im not pro The Sun
just aware that its all over the place especially places of work, just pointing out the double standards (no pun intended)

# I think part of the problem is that
a picture like that is very noticeable on your monitor. Its very obviously not work. Not only is it not work but its a woman's arse, basically. It might not be porn, but if your boss is walking past s/he probably wont stop and say 'ooh! Nice vectors, wow. I wish i could do vectors like that, how splended!'.
It would more likely be 'get on with the damn work you're paid for' or 'honey, you're sacked'.

I don't have a massive problem with this image in particular (well, any more than i have problems with all images that just turn women into objects), but i can see his point. Having said that, if things are that bad, look at b3ta without the pictures, or, worse, actualy do some work.

Or is that just ridiculous?
Yeah, ok, that is just stupid

# I would have disagreed with you a few months ago
but I have recently been trapped in an office (200+) employees where I was one of three straight men. There were filthy pinups everywhere, and I have to admit that it made me feel uncomfortable when I was trying to have a serious discussion while other people were looking at gay porn.

I'm not really sure what point I was trying to make here.

# where do you work?

# That was my last job, in Sydney.
I'm self employed at the moment, but things are drying up so I think I'm going to have to be a corporate whore for a few more months. Oh well.
