Celebrities daughters in their underwear

[StoneofDestiny]

AIBU to think it's sadly pathetic that so many daughters of celebrities think it's a necessary step in life to raise their 'fame' by posing in their underwear - Jonathan Ross's daughter Honey being the latest.

Saw this in the week. No pressure son!

Yeah, weird how few young men need to show everyone their nearly naked bodies to feel positive about themselves too.

Also I've never really noticed male celebrities children doing Page3 type photos? It seems to always be females, like they reach a certain age and it's the next step, which makes me think of it being part of patriarchal society more than simple free choice. A sort of messed up invisible conversation where women collectively argue that they can do anything they want and men collectively challenge back for them to prove it and the women's messed up response is to take most of their clothes off.

'Soon to be 60'
I am trying not to judge anyone but I feel very uneasy about porn.
We all know that porn is a much deeper discussion and this post is not about porn but I suspect that there are some women who are manipulated into the business by various means.
But as I said no one is forced to look therefore if there was not such a market for pornography.
One thing that really makes my blood boil is the pornography that involves the very vulnerable. This is not porn, this is abuse. And again if there were no 'customers' and I say that loosely. there would be no market. It's all a bit sad.

Body Positive Activist??? Ffs, not only have we now got women stripping naked online, we now have them believing they are doing it for some greater good???

^^This!

It seems that every other woman after fame gets her kit off, puts in some Lacey undies, takes a selfie with the camera down by her knees to make her legs look longer/boobs bigger then heavily airbrushes the images.

It’s almost like Instagram has become the place the fame hungry can advertise their wares for some perve aging or z list celeb to pick up his younger model and the fane hungry can bag a couple of headlines.

I hate how so many women buy into the (obviously male-driven) idea that empowerment and liberation can somehow be achieved through public nakedness.

It's trampy as fuck

Yes it is extremely sad that we have all created a society where young women think this is their key to success. It’s almost as if we don’t tell young women they have value as anything other than something to look at.

Not just young women - Lizzie Cundy springs to mind.

Poor girl. Media has tricked her into posting very unattractive photographs where she’s barely dressed. It’s no empowering, it’s not fat positive or something similar.

It’s an attention seeking young woman making an idiot of herself. She’d be better off posting a picture in gym kit going for a run every day and losing a good few pounds whilst it’s easy. The ‘after’ pictures would be far more positive.

I'm no prude, I have no issues with seeing naked human bodies and am comfortable being so myself, but it does seem that the greater rebellion these days is to keep one's clothes on.

I find the entire celebrity in their underwear thing really demoralising for teen girls, I look at my step daughter and how she tries so hard to emulate these women who should know better. Her self esteem is low no matter what we tell her or how often we explain about filters. She won't listen and thinks women posing half naked pouting filtered to the hilt is normal. Sad really. I wish there was a way to stop it I find it completely unnecessary.

We don’t see JR’s sons posing half naked and pulling their pants up their arse crack. Why do these girls think that they are all about feminism? It is just bizarre and grim.

@MorganKitten it’s really sad what Honey has been through and I don’t doubt she sees herself as a femininst..I wish she could see that she’s not really furthering her cause when she strips..in my humble opinion.

@Melange99 don’t even start me on Lizzie Cundy, she is is a league of her own.

What has happened to feminism? Its damn depressing.

Unsure how people are linking what she's doing with titillation

And how can you tell someone's got mental health problems by looking at their picture?

Not saying she doesn't, but people are saying they looked at her pic and that she looks unwell. Just wondering what are the specific giveaways?

I think it’s very very unfair to say young women see stripping off as the key to success now. That’s pure bullshit and totally mysogynistic.

Many young women have successful careers without stripping off, in everything from law to medicine to business. It’s only a tiny minority who feel the need to strip off. And women who have done this have always existed.. and they have always been the minority. And they have always got a lot of attention for it.

To suggest all young women now think stripping off is the key to success is denigrating every young woman who doesn’t do this or think it.

If a woman wishes to strip off this is her right. Respect her choice. But don’t pretend all you g women are getting photographed in their knickers for fame or money. They are not. For over a century at least, a small percentage of women have done this. And there will always be a small percentage of women who do.

Nothing has changed in this regard . But what has changed is more and more women are having successful careers in other areas, areas that would have been previously denied to them. Like law, medicine, accountancy, and a thousand other areas.

But she is - she’s showing she is comfortable with her shape and has overcome a sexual assault.... she is happy with how she looks and showing that.

Good thing I didn’t suggest that then, isn’t it.

@WorraLiberty

Youd be disappointed that your child is a body positive activist who over came a sexual assault and years of self loathing?

Pretty sure the PP meant she'd be disappointed in her child posing naked...

Which she does to reclaim her body...

She’s reclaiming it by showing herself stark naked to the whole world? I don’t get it. Must be getting old.
