Men like breasts. Men are willing to pay for pictures of breasts (interspersed with football news, fast cars and shark attacks). Some women are willing to shows their breasts for money. These women make money. Some would say these glamour models are making capitalism work for themselves by making best use of the assets available to them. Some would say that they are giving into a male-dominated paradigm of society which undermines the feminist movement by allowing women to be seen as little more than airheaded fantasy sexual objects rather than educational, social and working equals. To keep you abreast of the opinions flying back and forth on this issue, Lit n Deb asks ‘Are glamour models good role models?’
