Why is Vogue glamorising domestic violence?

Conde Nast has sparked outrage by publishing an image of a male model choking supermodel Stephanie Seymour on the cover of Vogue Hommes International.

Women's rights groups have written a letter accusing the publisher of "glorifying domestic violence as an act of love" and demanding they withdraw the magazine from sale immediately.

"Choking is not a fashion statement, and certainly not something that should be used to sell magazines," the letter reads.

Vogue is not the first magazine to publish images of violence against women.
