The 1950s are well and kicking on Mumsnet. No problem seeing all sorts of incredibly sexualised pornified stuff on channel four, on strictly, on every reality tv show, or objectified nudes by creeps like Freud, but should a young woman do a jokey in your face modern day Sheelah Nae Gig with a Black triangle no less, then suddenly the comments are like a modern day temperance meeting.
Absolutely bizarre double standards.
Meanwhile male artists do confrontational crap on women all the time without comment.
Cant help feeling that at least some of the pursed lips is outrage that the artist is a young woman, and yes, a kind of internalised sexism and discomfort at a woman displaying our vulnerability in a blithe and carefree self owning manner.
It is SO CLEARLY not sexualising, its utterly bizarre that anyone think it is, its quite the opposite.
Its the one power move by women down through the centuries.
A long tradition that Elaine Miller made use of in Scottish Parliment and we all defended vehmently
To remind you a bloke exposed his actual dick on tv, and channel four are about to put on a show where virgins have sex on live tv.
There has been virtually no pushback.
The double standards are all over this and very much shines a light on residual programming.
And most of all its affectionate, quite the opposite of a male version.
Do you know I genuinely thought that you would all be pleased by a modern day Sheelah Nae Gig holding her own in that Bastion of Wokeness.
But we must keep women from being too feisty eh? Self moderation
