It is known to all that tabloid magazines tend to present and sexualize women more than men.
Every time a celebrity steps out from their home the paparazzi start snapping their pictures and don’t even think if the pictures are embarrassing or the celeb is in no mood to get clicked.
The work of paparazzi is to make money as they know avid readers would definitely read whatever they serve to them.
One Twitter account named ‘Daily Male Online’ took a dig at how ridiculously the Daily Mail’s shows female celebrities by posting similar photos of male celebrities and writing up indistinguishable headlines.
The bio on this page reads: ”If The Daily Mail wrote about men the way they write about women.”

In a video “The Experiment,” writer Kate Hardie and lighting technician Andy Lowe cut out pictures of men and women featured in the British tabloid The Sun which is the UK’s most widely-read daily newspaper.
Hardie and Lowe pasted all of these photos to a wall, putting images of women on one side and men on the other. The results depict the stark contrast between how women are objectified and how men are.
The video was a part of “No More Page 3” campaign which is in protest of The Sun’s decades-long practice of printing topless models on its third page.
“The Experiment” shows that sexist representations of women go far beyond the topless photos featured on The Sun’s page three. Images of female celebrities appear to be chosen based on how little clothing they’re wearing, while the men are almost all completely clothed. And as Hardie and Lowe point out in the video, “The men are nearly all active, doing things. Not posed… the women are passive. It’s all about how they look.”
“When I look at the men’s side, I see real life,” the text in the video reads. “But when I look at the women’s side, it doesn’t seem real. It’s all manufactured.”
The campaign website explains: “Currently, any story [The Sun runs] about women’s issues such as rape, sexual abuse, harassment, domestic violence or the dangers of online porn is drowned out and contradicted by the neon flashing sign of Page 3 that says ‘sh*t up, girls, and get your tits out.”
