Flashes her legs

Why are certain newspapers still getting away with this kind of 1970s approach to women wearing clothes?

Screenshots, in case you don't want to click on the link or the headline changes.

It's pretty desperate, really. Yes, they need to get over the sight of a woman's knees.

Pointless AND pathetic.

One of my absolute pet hates is when they say a celeb (always female, natch) has "put on a leggy display" 😤 which roughly translates to "phwoar! Look here lads, she's got LEGS [rubs thighs furiously]"

I have to say, I read it more as fashion-type reporting which likes to talk about things like showing knees, or not, to indicate the up-coming trends.

It's the verbs like "flaunts" which are so ridiculous. It's a weird world where "woman wears clothes" is a headline.🙄

Daily Mail celebs have 'endless pins'.

Was she also flaunting her assets?

Showing off her trademark tresses?

Showcasing her enviable curves?

🤢

It's awful reporting.(and not even a mini). However I'm inclined to cut The Mail a wee bit of slack after this. No other paper took this on.

I can't open this because I haven't got an RSS reader, apparently. Could you give some names so I can look it up? Thanks.

That has to be the most frumpy Oxfam shop skirt I have ever seen Kate Moss wear and yet she's flashing her legs? I was at least expecting an Angelina Jolie substantial side split.

Mini skirt :/

Bloody hell, Harpies, that's shocking. Heads really should roll, but they're claiming procedures were followed. That should tell them something about their procedures!
