Rejected petition Modesty covers for women's mags such as Cosmopolitan

More details

In recent times, small but vocal minority groups such as UK Feminista, Femen and Mumsnet are attempting to censor so-called lad's mags such as Zoo and Nuts. No such outrage as been given to women's magazines i.e Cosmopolitan, many of which feature misandrist, explicit sexual phrases on their covers, which could be harmful if seen by children. If lad's mags are to be covered up then in the interests of gender equality, women's magazines should also be covered up.
