When we criticise male politicians, it is normally about their character or personality. When women politicians get criticised, it is normally about their appearance. Jackie Baillie is a classic example of this How many articles and headlines were there about Johnson's legs and shoes?

Absolutely - when BJ was laughed at for going running in his dress shirt, it was because he was running in his dress shirt. Not because of his physical appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Can't think of any recent Presidents of the United States who may have been laughed at for their fraudulent hair, their bottle of Tropicana complexion or being fat cheeseburger-eating slouch. He's on to one here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Can someone enlighten me? In the Boris photo, what’s wrong with his shoes? They’re the only thing in that photo I can’t see a problem with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the situation with nightclubs yesterday and now today it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what constitutes misogyny. You're good value for entertainment, I'll give you that. OK bro. Whatever you say. Almost regardless of the subject, if you hold one view, I almost automatically assume the opposite is the truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by his dot, virginton doesn’t think that the press (as exemplified by the Daily Mail front page illustrated in @welshbairn’s post) are obsessed by female politicians legs and shoes. I must bow to the knowledge of the Sage of Inverclyde. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
