Post Feminism and Popular culture- Lad's Mags

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1274095/JAN-MOIR-Lads-mags-toxic-culture-treats-women-like-meat.html

This is an article which discusses the role of women and how they are subordinated and degraded in lad's mags.

"...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)".

"As a mark of a post-feminist identity young women journalists refuse to condemn the enormous growth of lap dancing clubs despite the opportunities available for them to do so across the media".
