Post- feminism and Popular Culture in Lads Mags


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-481677/Women-blame-lads-mags-sexual-exploitation--just-guilty.html
An article discussing sexual objectifcation and self objectification of women

"If we turn attention to some of the participatory dynamics in leisure and everyday
life which see young women endorse (or else refuse to condemn) the ironic normalisation of pornography, where they indicate their approval of and desire to be pin up girls for the centrefolds of the soft porn “lad mags"

"we are witness to a hyper-culture of commercial sexuality, one aspect of which is the repudiation of a feminism invoked only to be summarily dismissed (see also Rosalind Gill 2003)"
