Goodbye grid girls – there is no place in sport for sexual objectification anymore
I do recall the discussion around the first female Dr Who about how she wasn't going to be tramping around a field wearing stilletoes and getting someone to help her with her sonic screwdriver - but why not? Some women do wear stilletoes and some aren't into DIY. Is that not allowed now?
My view is that grid-girls and darts valets and the like are just there to provide something to look at. They could be replaced by a sign on a pole and all you would lose is the T&A.
Cheerleaders/Madonna/Miley are actually doing something that requires skill (is that the right word) and they do something that can be separated from how they look.

NB not necessarilly all interest,average about £30 a week.Also removes the ability to work(despite the misrepresentation you could also,I did for five years,disregard,continued pension contribution,employment,contact etc)Obviously,I view as particularly pernicious if you cannot move-we couldn't,in breach of DFG agreement and far more the message,continued residualisation of the contributory factor,needless binaryfication and false portrayal as takers in our case to me.

She doesn't want to, I'd imagine. That's why she said it. The first female Dr Who doesn't speak for all women when she talks about what she does and doesn't want to do. That doesn't mean all women are no longer allowed to wear stilletoes and maintain a disinclination for do it yourself activities. I read the article you've linked and didn't find where it said only certain types of women are allowed now. Where'd you see that? Are you asking these questions in all seriousness?

Are some representations being proscribed,"choice" removed in effect,I would imagine.
Re: Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th February 2018
I like the Parliamentary website and the different research reports published. It's a good resource.House of Lords Library
Fake News
Fake news is not a new term. In the 20th Century, its popularity in the printed media rose from the end of the First World War to a peak in 1940—coinciding with the onset of the Second World War. Academic Kalev Leetaru, writing in Forbes magazine, suggested that this reflected “the rise of propaganda research and the impact that false information could have on societies” at that time.
https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk ... -2017-0040
Most topics are more interesting than the I've linked above. This one landed in my e-mail inbox recently though it's dated April last year.

I know and love you. It's likely you didn't dominate the conversation or slouch petulantly, sighing loudly when you didn't speak. Was there a proctor, an instructor guiding the course? Specific people questioning your attendance and participation in the class needed enlightening. The course was better with you there.

Some people aren't very nice, finding a problem where none exist. Hopefully, they've grown, healed or found peace inside themselves; no longer finding fault with an honourable, gentle and bloody-minded human being holding open the door.

So much for the cast-iron promises of developers, lauded by Ms Kober !
And the absolute scale of the luxury building really did amaze me too —
“”The council has allowed the developer of the Battersea power station site to build just 386 affordable homes in the 4,239-home redevelopment. Only 9% of the homes will be affordable, far below London mayor Sadiq Khan’s 35% affordability target for all new large developments.
Khan said he was “furious” that Wandsworth council had allowed the Malaysian-backed Battersea Power Station Development Company to cut down its original promise of 636 affordable homes in the £9bn transformation of the London landmark. The developer had complained that falling sales of luxury homes would knock its profit margin on the redevelopment, which will also include a new UK headquarters for Apple.“”

She is the stuffed remnant of a once-optimistic prime minister, helpless in the midst of anarchic cacophony. This is government by taxidermy.
I am scarcely Jeremy Corbyn’s greatest fan, but the notion that the status quo must be preserved simply to thwart his chances of becoming prime minister is not only democratically contemptible but morally outrageous.
Re: Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th February 2018
I was thinking, this morning, that the only violence was instigated by the Jacob Rees Mogg supporter. At least Sarah Smith (BBC Sunday Politics) went some way to point out that there was no evidence to connect Labour with the scuffle (or are we now meant to say "altercation"?).PaulfromYorkshire wrote:skwalkbox on "white shirt"

SH appearing to be struggling with the very basic concept of appropriate behaviour.
Re: Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th February 2018
It could be argued that, since Jacob Rees Mogg has abused his position as an MP (and the protections thus afforded by the House of Commons) to lie and defame others for his own ends, with apparent impunity, he's fair game. In fact, he's set the rules of the game.
