Is this the most sexist front page ever?

[superoz]

I never ever post in AIBU but I have just watched newsnight and could not believe my eyes when going through tomorrow's front pages of the newspapers.

I don't read said publication so will not post a direct link, but will leave this here instead:

I thought it might be some kind of a joke. Nope. AIBU to think first then

Oh my god she did lol...

I also liked her tweet about her footwear. I'd like to see more of this in the media please

Men being perved on in papers doesn't make women being perved on in papers any better.

No it doesn't, but interestingly the OUTRAGE and the screams of SEXIST is missing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH

There's a scream of outrage from me.

I'm also straight and also have a crush on Ruth Davidson btw. I see she exchanges tweets with Susan Calman, who has also tweeted a picture of her legs.

Thanks rogue.

Wow!!

I'm not going to google it just in case google picks up on it and starts bombarding me with pictures of politicians legs.

Ruthies were enough for me today :)

You're very welcome Nippy.

I was so annoyed by the DFail article I considered going to my corner shop, buying all the Fails and burning them on the pavement. But only briefly. I'm far too cowardly to do anything like that.

I hope they put Ruthies in tomorrow, she went to a real effort as well. I liked the bubbles.

If we had any good male politicians perhaps they could be included..

Perhaps Neil Findlay. He's been pretty good lately.

Someone posted a splice of Boris Gove and JC in shorts on RD's twitter. No-one needs to see that.

this is a front page of a national newspaper with our two most senior politicians being reduced to body parts in a way that two men never would.

This is the crux of it for me.

Just because men have been perved on in the papers before (arguably to a lesser extent than women) doesn't somehow make this acceptable. Let's not forget the near constant updates from various 'news' outlets criticising TM's hair, make up, clothes. It never happens to the same extent to males in a position of power.

Jesus!!!

I'll give it a few days before I go back for a look. I'm not sure I'd recover from that.

I love her style, she wears statement clothing so it is understandable that it draws media attention.

I really disagree. Corbyn and trump have taken a real blasting for their "Style".

It is childish. If you are not a childish person you buy a different paper.

WTF?! Nauseating.

They wanted their legs in the photos.

Why should women have to wear trousers to be taken seriously?
To be fair, so do men.

Where are all these men being peeves on? Must have missed them.

.......perved........

I wouldn't expect anything less from that shit rag.

Upthread guardian...

Trudeau

There was also quite a bit of attention for Obama...

Prince William anyone?

I wouldn't expect anything less from that shit rag

Well yes quite, but you can't exactly ban it if you want to live in a free world. I think many tabloids are the same childish nonsense. If you don't like it you don't buy it.

You are right, I don't buy it. Media is very biased, so I tend to steer away from it including those trashy weekly celeb magazines.

I think there's a lot that can be done short of "banning it" - putting pressure on advertisers via organisations like Hope Not Hate, for instance.

The DM is repeatedly a tool for ideological violence like this - sexism, racism, and occasionally homophobia. To call them out on it isn't disrespectful to the principles of a 'free world', quite the reverse. Just to sit there and accept it is quiescent in the extreme.

The male equivalent wouldn't be senior politicians in shorts, as men's legs aren't "perved" over. It would be a picture on the front page comparing their their muscle thighs, arses or chests.

The DM have released a statement which is a blatant lie. They have said "Oh get life", yes, really they actually said that. They then went on to say it was only on the sidebar of shame. It's on the fucking front page!

It did say 'lighthearted' on the cover.

Later editions amended the streamlines to show it was Sarah Vine (i.e.a woman) being 'lighthearted' after a stream of complaints about sexism to the Fail.

They really are utter cunts.
