It’s not about choice - it’s about an equalities commissioner making huge assumptions about working class girls. If she’d just said girls, then the discussion would have been about choice . ???. There would have been plenty to discuss but that’s not the issue here

I’ll take a rain check on the popcorn thank you, I am enjoying a latte along with a very cold chocolate digestive

Should women not have a choice ?

I have never agreed with Page 3, but a lot of girls used it as a stepping stone to better things.

Couldn’t see why grid girls were banned, they were fully clothed, and depending on where the Grand Prix was held the girls were in the National Costume/dress of the host Country.

At the time there were a multitude of interviews with models/aspiring models saying that “the PC Brigade were depriving them of a living”

In my opinion if men/women are not being coerced into any profession they should be allowed to continue, surely that is equality ?

This is what passes for a critique of modern feminism.

‘Working-class girls have been deprived of jobs that they love such as Page 3 girls and [Formula One] grid girls because other women disapprove of them. What happened to ‘my body, my choice’?”

So said the new Equalities Commissioner in a speech two years ago. Wow just wow.
