Sophie Ellis-Bextor concert. Ugh

[IOnlyWantSexMoneyPowerAndRevenge]

Saw her last week. Good fun. I missed the opportunity to wear my glittery Christmas dress though.

We all know she has legs that go on for days and likes to show them off (so would I if I had them!). At various points during the show she had to bend over (dropped something and so on). Every single time, at least one man wolf whistled. One man started and then others thought it was OK to join in.

I mean, really? They weren't sat near me or I would have said something. It pissed me right off. We were there to sing and dance to a bit of disco and grotty men insist on making their thoughts knoen about how attractive she is. As if anyone cares.

Most of the audience were 50+ which somehow made it even more grim.

Yuk just yuk.

I wonder if the women who think wolf whistling is innocent have ever stopped to think why women generally don't wolf whistle at men on the street?

I cannot stand her, hate the sound of her voice but I think it's because I had terrible morning sickness at the first outing of murder on the ........😂

I don't see why the audience being over 50 has anything to do with it. Sophie herself is nearly that age. That said, pretty naff behaviour to wolf whistle.

She gave permission for her song to be used on Saltburn. I don't think she would have minded a few wolf whistles.

I know some PP's say it's not just about her but I strongly advise them not to go and see Sanrina Carpenter.

The Saltburn logic is really odd.

You are f*cking joking?

No it's not, she said she was very intrigued by the scene where he is dancing in the nude to it where you could see his penis.

This!!! We don't have to get naked to be empowered. Why not be fully dressed and use your brain.

Ok...I genuinely don't understand what you're implying. Are you saying because she commented on this scene she must be up for wolf whistles?

agreed, not sure what that means. I don’t think that scene in Saltburn was about inciting us to wolf whistle!

Do you honestly think she was upset about the wolf whistling?

Nothing wrong with the concert goers being 50+, after all Sophie herself is nearer 50 than she is 40. So YABU in that respect.

Leerly man, though YANBU but maybe Sophie herself was encouraging such behaviour!

I have no idea what she felt. I'm asking you about your logic.

I can't be bothered. You'll only twist what I say.

The 'encouraging such behaviour' attitude really baffles me. If I push you, you'll fall over, so in that sense I've 'encouraged' your behaviour. But if I wear something short and you wolf whistle at me, I haven't encouraged anything - you are a grown adult and as such you are responsible for your own behaviour.

Ok, let me put words in your mouth instead then. You believe that because SEB had a certain attitude towards a sexually explicit film, she must be ok with wolf whistling. It's the same sort of attitude as 'she asked for it' - i.e. if a woman appears any less than 100% 'pure' she must want to be leered at.

@PuzzledPartridge are you saying she was ‘asking for it’ because of what she was wearing and that she had to bend down? Or that because she was interested in the end scene of Saltburn and let them use her music that means she enjoys being sexually harassed on stage?… I mean that’s fairly dangerous territory if so and honestly, only Sophie E B knows how she feels about wolf whistling, not you or anyone else making wild guesses on the internet but whatever she was wearing/doing or thinking those idiotic men should know better. Have we advanced at all???

Nope.

I never said that.

I have never mentioned her bending down or her clothes. So you need to stop accusing people of things they haven't said.

Kind of feels like you did. If you didn’t, what is your point exactly?

You strongly implied it. If it's wrong you have every chance to explain what you really meant.

It was exactly what was said.

Prove it.

You did that for me, thanks.

No she clearly wants a reaction. It's a concert for goodness sake. Why are you quoting everyone, clearly have some kind of problem.

Clearly.
