To wonder why women in daily mail features always wear dresses?

Every time I see a feature in the daily mail, I notice the women are always wearing dresses, looking as though they are going to tea with the vicar. Anyone any idea why this is? I’m sure that the women don’t always dress like this in real life, so does the daily mail give them dresses to look like stepford wives?

@ShirleyPhallus

On the “What are you wearing zzzz” threads on MN, the posters always do a little girl pose, one toe pointing inwards. Odd.

Jess Cartier-Morley is THE WORST for this and the comments in the guardian always reflect it

I think it’s worst when people post “what do you think of my outfit” and they have really dirty, dusty mirrors and messy bedrooms with clothes everywhere.

Maybe they’re all copying her?! She does look ridiculous, though.

To wonder why anyone still buys or would be seen reading The Daily Fail or The Sun?!

And 99% of the time nude heels too.

It's so you know it's a picture of a woman. Terrible confusing if everyone wore trousers.

I went to a photo shoot with a similar paper wearing perfectly nice ordinary clothes and was dolled up and put in stupid clothes because 'they like bright colours' and editorial team wouldn't sign it off otherwise. I was there for interview about family member dying, dressed up to the nines, ridiculous.

I guess they just have a style. Or they get letters from sad bastards asking why WOMEN are wearing TROUSERS, can you be a WOMAN ANY MORE IN THIS DAY AND AGE???

[quote Mammylamb]@AiryFairyMum I can completely believe this. Sexism in the workplace is still rife in many companies. My friend is a chartered accountant. She told me she was covering reception at work one lunch time. I asked why, as it’s usually students who do this. She said that the only students there today are boys, and they can’t ask a boy to go on reception[/quote]
WTAF?!!!
