Playboy To Drop Nude Pictorials In Magazine Overhaul

If I lived in Saudi Arabia, where my word was going to be counted as half of a man's, I wouldn't report being raped because reporting being raped would be taken as an admission of having sex outside of wedlock, which would get me lashes or stoned to death instead of getting any semblance of justice.

Saudi Arabia is hardly the norm.

Considering that in India, rape victims sometimes have choices like "marry my rapist or be murdered by my family to preserve their honour", I don't think India is the norm either.

How do we define the norm? The average rape victim in the world is sadly not treated very well.

I wonder about that. The world outside of the West is remarkably brutal in its treatment of women.

That is true. We'd at least be using different standards, for certain.

I mean, apparently not all rapes in India are even crimes, since sometimes women and girls are sentenced to be gang raped because of transgressions committed by their male relatives.

And yet some people on here like to act like it's all so much better in places where women are treated like shit.

Yes, but you see: that's all the West's fault too.

The thing is that even in the United States of America, rapes are undereported and your cops even eleiminate it from their records

A 2013 study found that rape is grossly underreported in the United States.[2] Furthermore, police departments around the country eliminate rapes from official records to "create the illusion of success in fighting violent crime".[3] Based on the available data, 21.8% of American rapes of female victims are gang rapes.

There is no need to spew venom

Come back to me when whole towns are getting together to organize rapes in the US.

Look, there are a lot of good things about Indian culture. I like the colorful clothes and the traditional art and architecture. Some of the food is good. Other food makes it feel like someone set off a bomb in your mouth because it is way too much spice, but to each his own. The rape culture is messed up and it needs to go.

Yes, eve teasing, acid throwing and rape are issues Indian society needs to eradicate. Add to that that the government needs to be more aggressive regarding dowry. Dowry death is one of the top issues Indian women are victims of. I know dowry has been banned in India, but many people ignore this.

I had nothing else to do today and with the same story appearing on TV news for the second day in a row, I decided to go and vist Playboy.com and can report that its perfectly Safe for work and features no nudity that I could find. Even the models under the Girls tab were clothed

The closest I could find to nudity was a Halloween themed gallery with women in their underwear

apparently you can pay for nudes but well why bother?

You need to prove without reasonable doubt that is the norm in India and cite the exact provisions in the Indian penal code or any court ruling that cites this particular judgement until then what you speak would be considered as a load of horse fucking shit

[New Grestin]

Well, now everyone will read playboy for the well-written articles.

That's why we bought them before, isn't it?

No I don't. I never claimed that was the law, only that this is what seems to happen there sometimes, especially in small villages. I already linked two articles discussing honour killings, honour rapes and also one case where to save a ten year old from being honour killed after being raped, her rapist offered to marry her.

Because the ten year old was found to have consented to sex with a 30+ year old man. Apparently.

Seriously, at least in the USA and the UK (apparently the only English-speaking countries that exist, according to you) fucking a ten year old is always rape.

If the total number rapes in the United States is higher, the United States has a higher rape rate despite the mistmatch in the total number of people, with enough prove given in my previous posts to prove that fact.

The views of a rapist cannot be used to tar an entire nation

The Links you gave show rapes or honor killings in two small villages, considering that 80 % of the population is rural and two villages do not significantly represent the entirerity of the population, your claims are therefore exaggerated and vicious a pack of lies

Is it? Considering that (rapes in India are considered severely underreported), to the point where it's estimated that less than 1% of all spousal rapes (the most common kind in India) are reported and less than 6% of all other rapes are reported (compare to the USA, where 20% of rapes are reported).

Granted, in India, raping your wife isn't a crime...

the United States has a higher rape rate despite the mistmatch in the total number of people, with enough prove given in my previous posts to prove that fact.

You haven't really proven anything, actually. I haven't seen you actually provide sources on anything at all and the closest you did to making any sort of argument was plagiarizing wikipedia (probably wikipedia, anyway).

Uh, so you're saying that the two links I pointed out (one of them dealt with multiple incidents in different villages, btw) described atypical small villages and that the other villages inhabited by the 80% of Indians living in rural communities are not like that at all?

I am just shocked that Playboy is changing the style now. For some time Penthouse and sites like 4mycams or Pornhub are taking all the visitors from them with that free content.

[The Greater American Confederation]

I've never been much of a fan of paper magazines, especially since it's harder to find now. There's a difference between erotica and pornography. Playboy doesn't feature the latter. I don't think you get the same kind of pleasure out of those two. That move is strange, I don't see why less nudity would encourage more people to buy it.

[Gauthier]

Now when men say they're just reading Playboy for the articles they're telling the truth.

[WeldonStaton]

Free porn is now everywere these days so Playboy is loosing ground in front of sites like fapshows.com and pornhub. They really need a rebranding to make it work once again.

[Zoice]

I've been reading the articles this whole time.

[New Benian Republic]

It's too late for Playboy, there's Internet porn which is free and much more sexually interesting.

Back to the pit, foul corpse of a thread!
