To wonder why Sara Vine is picking on Beyonce.

Banner headline for Daily Fail today -Beyonce 'Bump bragging is so boring' by Sara Vine.
The same Daily Fail which has carried pictures of Demi Moore and countless other female celebrities " proudly" pausing with their naked bumps.
I just don't get why pick on Beyonce.? What sets her apart from the other women ?Confused

Sarah Vine is often nasty in her articles. The Daily Mail is misogynistic in general.

I'm not sure why you're so surprised by the article.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 03/02/2017 14:32

It pains me to agree with Sarah Vine.

Those pictures are so cringeworthy though.

VladmirsPoutine · 03/02/2017 14:33

Sarah Vine and her husband Michael Gove are twats on a massive scale. I've often thought that there must truly be someone for everyone the fact that two vile people found each other and found happiness in their vileness.

PurpleDaisies · 03/02/2017 14:33

I do think that the Beyoncé pictures are bizarre though, and they've obviously been released by her for publicity. It's going to provoke positive and negative reaction.

conserveisposhforjam · 03/02/2017 14:34

Because she's a misogynist cunt?

WorraLiberty · 03/02/2017 14:34

Why don't you spell the name of the newspaper properly? Confused

I don't know who Sara Vine is but if she writes for the Daily Mail, it doesn't surprise me that she's written a nasty article.

As you're a Daily Mail reader, I'm not sure why you're puzzled?

After their manoevering immediately after the Brexit vote, they were rightly called the 'Poundshop Lannisters'

Maudlinmaud · 03/02/2017 14:35

Vine has probably written the article after reading the thread on mumsnet, popular opinion innit. I guess Beyonces pictures irk a lot of people, she has come across as rather smug and unlikeable.

HateSummer · 03/02/2017 14:35

I think the Beyoncé pics have been released because with her first pregnancy everyone thought she had a fake bump with weird videos circulating of her falling bump. so I think the pics are a sort of F you to people so she can enjoy her pregnancy in peace without any speculation like last time.

ImperialBlether · 03/02/2017 14:36

That's one thing we've been spared, having that pair of twats in number 10.

NotStoppedAllDay · 03/02/2017 14:37

Saying someone's pic is 'boring' is hardly picking on her!

conserveisposhforjam · 03/02/2017 14:37

The other headline was 'Now Harriet Harmon says she's been sexually harassed by THREE men!' wasn't it?

I'd like to know where she's been living to get to her age and only be harassed by three men.

They are a bunch of cunts and we should have them strategically taken out by the 'Feminazis' they invented to sell newspapers.

AuntNancy · 03/02/2017 14:39

Sarah Vine's job is to pick on people.

KC225 · 03/02/2017 14:40

Not read the piece but those photographs are cringeworthy. And why include the little girl in that vanity project? Put some clothes on and find some humility.

birdybirdywoofwoof · 03/02/2017 14:42

That's what she gets paid for - to pick on women in the public eye.

She does it very well. She and her husband must feel super proud of themselves.

Mrsdraper1 · 03/02/2017 14:46

If I was married to Michael Gove I would probably feel angry with the world and lash out at those around me.
It's a cry for help

AuntNancy · 03/02/2017 14:49

yesterday's MailOnline (I know, I know) had five stories about naked women at the top of the sidebar of shame - at least. Kim K looking 'thinner', Beyonce's pregnancy pics, several reality stars I've never heard of on beaches, Kate Moss starkers in a magazine... they're obsessed with nakedness. It's so tawdry.

LittleBearPad · 03/02/2017 14:50

Because she's a cow.

LullabelleBates · 03/02/2017 14:56

WorraLiberty- why don't you spell the name of the Newspaper properly

Are you a sub editor for Mnet? Big deal- try typing Daily Fail in the search box of this forum and see what comes up before having a go at OP.

As for Sara Vine, she must be very angry at the world and everyone else.

HelsBels5000 · 03/02/2017 14:58

The pictures are just so weird. I mean who does that to announce their pregnancy? So narcissistic!
Can you just imagine the reaction if one of your Facebook friends posted their birth announcement naked, with a veil over the heads, surrounded by a garland of flowers. They would be ripped to shreds!
I love the meme going round with the side by side photo of beyonce and also of a random girl, wearing a veil, with flowers, announcing she just took a shit. Grin

rookiemere · 03/02/2017 14:58

Er because Sarah Vine has to "write" a column and the modus operandi of the DM is to pick on women for being too thin/too fat/too young/too old/too successful/too militant/too ugly/too pretty.... you get the gist

EnormousTiger · 03/02/2017 14:59

She will be paid to be sexist. She writes about beauty whilst her husband has the real male job. It's a very very sexist relationship she is in, not one most of us would countenance.

MsUnderstanding · 03/02/2017 14:59

Because she's a bully.

rookiemere · 03/02/2017 15:00

Actually helsbels that's a fantastic idea, sadly I'm too old for pregnancy, but I think a few imitations would be a good thing. It's not a new thing, I'm old enough to remember when Demi Moore's untalented offspring were in her tum, displayed proudly on Vanity Fayre.

LittleBearPad · 03/02/2017 15:00

Well she is married to Michael Gove and probably lost a fair few friends over her husbands behaviour last summer. Plus she's paid to be mean. It's a sad indictment of women that the Fail is so popular with them despite being a misogynistic rag.
