Ladmags, if they were to cater for men's real needs, should recognise men as thinking, feeling beings who need to directly bond with each other - not bond over the denigration of women.
Ladmags encourage men to view women as inferior, thus perpetuating a culture of contempt against women.
Ladmags speak to men and boys as if they were sexually voracious and callous ape-like subhuman brutes, and encourage them to live up to this stereotype.
Lads magazines are essentially harmless,they pander to male fantasies but the real dangers are in the teen girl magazines which are openly sexual in their advice,they should be on the top shelf.
Ladsmags have gone from fun and entertaining to low-rent porn mags and their place on supermarket shelves should reflect that.
Ladsmags used to be a bit of fun, but recently they seem to be having a competition to see who can get the most naked women in the magazines.
