Is this benefitting her or women in general? I’m really unimpressed

[CoffeeMumForever]

nb: this post is about Emily atack and her latest extremely sexual photos in the press

Why why why!!!!! She’s already successful, lots of money, seemingly intelligent and has a child and partner. Why why why do women keep wanting to come across as sex dolls? I really don’t understand especially as she has spoken about her experience of sexual assault before. Do so many women feel like the most important thing to them in life is still being classed as a ‘wanted, needed by men, sexual being’ above everything else? This can’t be for money purposes.

What on earth are you going on about? In what way does liking sex equate with 'wanting to shag the guy they fancy in the office'?

Are you Matt Hancock's wife or something?

Ahhh so sexual crime is a consequence for wearing what we want?

Got it.

Honestly worried by some of these comments

She looks fantastic but the shoot looks a bit cheap imo and certainly wouldn't inspire me to buy the underwear tbh (I do prefer a more fuller brief these days tbf)

Your hard drive needs checking, mate

Being an underwear model and being gazed at: OK
Being out and about with your family and being a gazed at: not OK

Its pretty fucking simple

My god! You just get worse. You’re just going with the doubling down on the whole victim blaming narrative then?

The differing situations of a woman using her body to advertise underwear, and then men sexualising those advertisements and committing crimes against her?

Another nepo child.

My friend wears pretty austere and conservative clothing on tv. She still has men thinking it is fine for them to message her with their explicit dominatrix fantasies. My point, which you spectacularly seem to be failing to grasp, is that, sadly, women will be objectified whatever they do. Whether wearing sexy lingerie, looking stern in a sensible black suit or dressed in gardener's scruffs, there will always be some creepy men desperate to harrass them.

Sorry, am I reading that right? You think that because she has been sexually assaulted, she shouldn't pose in underwear? I'd be delighted to have read that wrongly, but I'm not so sure

Will leave you all to your fantasy world which you seem to prefer to the harsh realities of life. Denial gets you nowhere but angry whereas acknowledging the dangers arms yourself in how to avoid much of this.

I’m not angry at anyone except men who think it’s ok to send people videos of them wanking (for example).

Patronising as well a misogynistic 👍🏻

I see nothing wrong with this. I like lingerie and a bit of dressing up. Each to their own, no-one should be telling me what I can or cannot wear and I would not dream of telling anyone else. Really poor to suggest a woman cannot wear what they choose and should be mindful of what they wear if they have suffered sexual abuse. In the current environment I do worry that if we do not maintain our freedoms they will disappear quite quickly.

If that's aimed at me I did not mention a sexual assault. I didn't even know she had been the victim of one. Yet again you're adding on things to suit your own narrative.

Telling women they need to cover up and not drink doesn't protect then from being SA ffs

It's victim blaming and makes women less likely to come forward because absolute TWATS like make them feel they deserved it

Few people on MN make me as absolutely steaming angry as you have right now

"I've just realised I've made a massive twat of myself and shown how misogynistic I am and have no good way to get out of it now, so I'm going to blame you all one last time and strop off and tell myself I've been right all along"

Oh that's embarrassing, that poster is clearly responding to the op.

It's a themed photoshoot tied to her role in Jilly Cooper's Rivals. She's been near-naked in that for comedy purposes. I don't really see the problem?

Why would it be aimed at you? People tend to aim their posts at the OP, unless they specify otherwise.

Stop reading the daily mail. That’d help.

They’ve weaponised you, they have made you angry by taking something out of context.

no doubt they do that with your views on asylum seekers.

You absolutely are condoning this.
If a man turns up topless anywhere, do people clutch pearls and shout "IS THIS BENEFITTING OTHER MEN"?
No, but yet you open a mumsnet thread criticising another woman's outfit and bemoan the level of feminism, like if all feminists were doing the same thing. Hipocrisy at its finest. The reaction is a society's fault, not the model's. You need to work on yourrself and get down to the bottom why you care so much about what other women wear.
