The Way Women Dress on TV

I am probably being old fashioned here but feel free to disagree with me but I'm noticing more and more women showing a lot of cleavage on tv nowadays. People will say "If you've got it flaunt it" but there's a time and a place. One woman who presents programmes from a lot of different countries always has low cut tops on and goes to Muslim countries which seems quite inappropriate to me.
The thing that has topped all this is watching Eastenders tonight where the character Amy Mitchell who portrays a 14 year old schoolgirl was sat in the pub in a low cut top showing all her cleavage. I found it quite wrong to dress a schoolgirl like this even if it is a soap. I know times change and girls like their fashions. What do you think?

I'm big-busted & personally hate showing cleavage although it is difficult to avoid. If you're a really confident person like Bettany it's different, but for me when men stare at my cleavage I get really self-concious & it's sort of a vicious circle, feeling uncomfortable somehow draws even more attention to your boobs & also gives you bright red complexion to go with them. Not empowering at all!

People should be respectful in their dress, boobs on display in a work environment is not. There's one advert on tv. where a woman wears a red dress and has enormous boobs covered with net so she looks as if she wearing nothing over them, it's gross, I doubt if anyone has seen her face..don't know what's she's advertising,
