- "Titles such as Loaded, FHM and Maim distinguish themselves from pornographic publications today"

- "Full of women posing naked... similar to those in Playboy, a top shelf publication"

- "Modern magazine follow the conventions of Playboy, in which women are depicted as objects for men's contemplation and enjoyment"

- "hold an overriding emphasis on penetrative sex and repeatedly represent women as the weaker gender who were made only to make men's life more enjoyable and entertaining"

- "The scantily dressed females represent women as sex objects and exhibit an overpowering masculinity to the audience and therefore re-enforce negative stereotypes in the media"

- "Cynically, the lifestyle "labelled" magazines for men are simply a way for the publishing institutions to make a lot of money"
