This article explores the discourses deployed by the Lose the Lad’s Mags Campaign, primarily between 2013 and 2014. The campaign aimed at persuading retailers to stop stocking and selling ‘lads mags’ on the grounds that they were sexist and in breach of the equality law. We identify how the campaign deployed discourses of the free market, asserting the right of consumers to choose to be ‘free from exposure’ to such representations, but also more problematic binaries within the campaign introducing class distinctions into the policing of sexuality and ultimately shifting the focus onto the presence of sex, not sexism, within public spaces
