I think I would have ignored it if it hadn't been brought up, perhaps the objection by Kate Green (I think Sally Bercow was joking) is that the picture may cause ribald comments by some male MPs - perhaps inebriated - causing embarrassment to female MPs or guests

I'd like to see Ann Widicombe semi naked on a bottle. I'd buy that...:love::huh:

It's one tiny incident in an overwhelmingly sexist culture. There certainly are better things to get upset about, but on the plus side, that one is easily dealt with.

 

Don't you think it detracts from the real issues and feminists are tainted by a few bunny boilers who will get upset about anything? It just brings ridicule..IMO..

Ridicule happens whenever feminists speak up about anything. It makes literally no difference whether it's about top totty beer or rape statistics.

 

Once people have decided that feminism isn't their thing, they pile on with the insults: we're crazed ('bunny boilers'), unattractive ('not Heidi Klum') and all the rest of it. Boring, predictable and the quickest way to demonstrate that the person dishing out the insults has probably not bothered to think about it in any depth.
