i put this on the thread about David's cock up but thought this gem deserved a thread all of it's own.....

Having seen the origin of the "Camdown dear" quote in that piece I am now really offended. So not only is she making deeply sexist comments of her own, she is also endorsing the PMs sexism. Yuk.

It was sexist to mention men. Alice assumed I was referring to men and that I was envious. I didn't mention either of those in my post. She read preconceived ideas of her own into what I had written.

that cn't be serious , maybe she liked what she saw haa, just kidding.

Tbh I wouldn't really describe that as 'busty' ,or plenty of 'cleavage' I see alot of this exaggeration in the media.

Squirrel - you don't need to mention men or that you were envious. Since you mention your own cleavage and it's decency or otherwise, I think the reader would need to be pretty dim not to construe that as a comparison with the disembodied sexualised body parts in the photo. And even dimmer not to understand the connections between women involving themselves in this type of 'compare & compete', the self-consciousness and insecurity it causes to all women and the resulting benefits to men's sense of entitlement to physical security and ego-driven arrogance. My original post referred to your comments, not the original article. Same sentiments to Frogs. SGM - I don't think Squirrel understood it either, but it seems you and others did.
