The founder of the campaign is writer and actor Lucy Anne Holmes, who started it because she became sad that the most prominent photograph of a woman in the widest circulation British newspaper is of a young woman in just her pants.
2) What are the six reasons the campaign gives for why Page 3 has to go?
- It is 2015, page 3 was made in the sexist times, 1970's.
- Soft porn, families can look at that.
- Bad teachings for children
- Women are known for doing better things in the world
- Showing that women are only needed for sexual needs
- The Sun could be better without page 3
3)What are Barbara Ellen and Susan Boniface's contrasting opinions in the debate?
Barbara Ellen - Her debate is that the page 3 girls in the sun were fascinating in the 1970's as it excited the audience then. However now in the 21st century, we can find naked girls on the internet and that it's available to whoever wants to see it.

Susan Boniface - Her debate is that the girls have their own opinions and if they want to show their bare breasts, then they should be allowed to do so. And if people disagree with the fact that The Sun still has the page 3, then people shouldn't buy the newspaper.
4) How can the No More Page 3 campaign be linked to the idea of post-feminism?
This links in with post - feminism as buy removing the page 3, it will mean that women aren't being objectified in through newspapers, thus showing more equality between men and women in society.
5) What are your OWN views on the No More Page 3 campaign. Do you agree with the campaign's aims? Should the campaign continue?
I don't agree with the removal of page 3 form The Sun, as it would be taking away the models jobs. It also wouldn't male such a great affect on feminism as there are still a vast amount of other mediums that sexually objectify women, such as in cinema, music, print and online. Across all these platforms women are used as sex objects to attract a male and in some cases a female audience.
6) Do you agree that we are in a post-feminist state or is there still a need for feminism?

I would agree to a certain extent that we live in a post - feminism society, as females now do have more options and opportunities such as in the work space. There are now more successful independent woman than they may have been 20 -30 years ago, which shows that equality between men and women is balancing. However women are still objectified and used for their appearance and bodies.
