About six weeks ago we confidently predicted the Crazy Ladies would have some success with their “Lose the Lads’ Mags” campaign:

Only Caroline Criado-Perez’s “women on banknotes” campaign was more laughable.

Spiked posted a good piece recently on the “Lose the Lads’ Mags” campaign:

The real objective of the “Lose the Lads’ Mags” and similar campaigns is not, of course, to prevent a ‘culture of sexism’, or to reduce the incidence of sexual assaults of women. The prime objective – we would argue the only objective – is to raise funds for the Crazy Ladies, and by that measure alone, such campaigns are outstandingly successful. By any other measure they have no value whatsoever for women.
