Brilliant points raised by Clare Short in The Independent. To summarise:
You would think that the relentless sexism in the media would come up against 'media ethics'. However, Lord Leveson says that this topic goes beyond his remit. It is not ok to have lewd pictures of women on the office wall or before the watershed, why then are these images allowed in a widely circulated, national newspaper?
Having just had a daughter, I am anxious about what messages she will receive from this type of constant negative bombardment about women's bodies.
When Short has attempted to challenge this she has been bombarded by the snide remarks about her own body and criticised as being 'jealous'.
So, could this be a new campaign for mumsnet? Let me know your thoughts...
