Legs- it.

Illustrates my point perfectly. Women are still demonised and objectified within a highly male dominated institution for being women.

The Daily Mail published this article after Nicola Sturgeon and Teresa May met to discuss another potential Scottish Referendum. Why do two of the most powerful female politicians have to be objectified in a way which demonises women.  Owen Jones ( a well know left wing supporter) in the video below try to give some explanation as to why the Daily Mail may have decided to do this. He states that the Daily Mail in the past has demonised certain groups for example the NHS, Refugees, LGBT rights and Muslims. '...Hates Britain. ' that it hates what it has become and is a paper that is an '...open sewer.'  Jones claims that there is something happening in this country. He pin points one significant event BREXIT.  The majority of people voted to leave the European Union and won. But I strongly agree with his next statement that it wasn't just the state of the EU that made people tick the leave box. It was about the NHS, Immigration and this is where MP's in control of the leave campaign decided to lie, for example the campain bus which claimed a large sum of money would go to the NHS. Which in an interview later given denied it. The Brexit vote was also an opportunity to re shape Britain. A 'Conter revolution.' a back lash against the majority and women and the rights that they have fought for.  This is a symbol of what is to come if we don't stand up to this group of people , so this video below is essentially Jones call to arms.

This whole issue also links back to what I was saying in my essay about how female politicians  almost have to adopt  this male passoena in order to be accepted as equals by there male counterparts, but as soon as they start dressing in a feminine way this happens. It really baffles me how people can objectify these two powerful, strong women , but could this be taken as a threat ? that because they have so much power to some men feel that it is an oppression of there masculinity?  We are in a really unique place at the moment in Britain with two female leaders. This is a great move forward and shows a changing world but there still seems to be that call in western society for women and minorities to be brought down and suppressed.
