@TheSnarkNight Of course. I didn't actually intend my comment to be mean and I'm sorry. I'm not really sure what was mean about it (it's now deleted but I remember what was in it). Anyway, I am deeply concerned by the idea of not speaking out because one might get a reputation for being someone who speaks out. That is the kind of thinking that discourages reporting of crimes like rape and sexual assault, as well as torts like sexual harassment. The asker's situation is possibly a hostile work environment, which at least in the US does legally constitute sexual harassment.

Also, there's a fine line between being sarcastic and being sardonic. Which is relevant because being sardonic is, by definition, not nice, so you might re-read your own answer carefully in light of the be nice policy.

@ToddWilcox since this was a question about a newspaper, I posted an answer about a newspaper. Conflating being labeled as someone causing trouble over a mainstream newspaper with reporting illegal behavior is not helpful.

I'm not sure whether the type of publication is relevant, only its content. If a workplace had copies of Playboy or Hustler lying around, that could absolutely constitute a hostile work environment. Obviously that's a rather extreme example, but to me the Daily Mail website is extremely sexist and offensive. Since I'm not bothered by nudity per se, I'd say the Daily Mail web site is just as bad as the Playboy web site. Is the print version similar? I have no way of knowing, but I'd be surprised if it weren't.
