Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence hit the headlines this week for wearing a revealing dress in a promotional photoshoot for her new film.
I know what you are thinking. Surely only a Hollywood actress not wearing a revealing dress in a photoshoot would be worthy of comment, but we live in strange times.
Jennifer was on the roof of a London hotel on a freezing February day, a million goosebumps on display in her plunge-front, split-to-the-thigh Versace gown.
She looked fabulous and no one would have cared a jot were she not posing with her male co-stars, all of them wrapped up in three layers apiece; warm jackets and scarves, nice big boots, mummy’s boy cosy vests, the lot.
How depressing, said concerned feminists, antennae forever attuned for she-slights, real or imagined. To them, the image seemed to say everything about female objectification in Hollywood.
