This masquerades as identity politics, but like so much identity politics it is in fact as much about class.
Middle class men and women are dictating to working class women the ways in which they should be allowed to earn money. They are not regarded as having agency or sufficient 'education' to make such decisions for themselves, so their 'betters' are deciding for them.
It is deeply, deeply nasty.
Saw a tweet from a girl who works as a grid girl complaining about how the pretend feminists have taken away her way of making a living. Can’t help but agree with her. The funny thing is grid girls just stand there in tight dresses. Models on the catwalk are often showing quite a bit more than a grid girl. Will we do away with those now or is that a bit to upmarket?
The hypocrisy is stunning. Not least because Beverley Turner is a former model, ffs! She has traded on her looks to get where she is, but dares to disapprove of other women doing the same. Let's face it, there is absolutely zero chance she'd have got that F1 gig if she'd looked like Clare Balding.
Quite liked the RR...was hoping Stacy Kiebler would be back...shame
Forget the lack of Black managers...where are the women managers?
We should start to reverse troll the feminists imo
I still struggle listening to the thin, reedy voices of the female football commentator. It just doesn't scan for me. I'm reminded of the many aspiring 8 year olds on Jim'll jinx it, each squawking away, acting out their hopes and dreams of copying the excitable Brian Moore.
And, sadly, all the while, Saville was most probably acting out his brand of encouragement to those, all too naďve young hopefuls from simpler times.
Do they still have women walking round the boxing ring carrying board numbers between rounds or did they go out of fashion with shiny shorts ?
It is a view that a Marxist should agree with though. Understanding the world in terms of the relationship between social classes is what Historical Materialism is about, after all.
And yes, this is a case of a bien pensent middle class dictating to a lower class. Funnily enough, this is something that the 'right' (be they real conservatives or mere Tory-voters) is often better at spotting these days than the fake left, who have absolutely no clue about class any more, or any self-awareness about their new role as loyal and fervant supporters of the establishment, ruling class.
In short, when I were a nipper the 'right' were in charge and the 'left' were the rebels. Now it looks more the other way round imo.
Question is, will somone still need to stand there on the very crowded F1 grid holding up a lollypop showing the driver where his slot is (fnar fnar)? If so it will probably be some bloke on the team, who will be taking the girl's job.
I expect they'll use the radio to guide them in though to avoid them thar optics.
Money has ruined everything :-(

:nod: As the left comprehensively lost the battle for political power, they comprehensively won the battle for cultural supremacy via education, academia, media, etc. Their ideas became doctrine to such an extent that, when the country voted for a relatively fiscally conservative Labour party, they got hard left-wing dogma as social policy. The Conservative Party in 2010 - completely misjudging the public mood and their own demographics - decided they needed to buy in to this horseshít, so since then we've had left-wing Tory governments ramming this crap down our throats. This has left vast numbers of traditional conservatives excluded, disenfranchised and bemused at finding themselves labelled as 'hard right'. They have therefore thought to themselves 'fück that' and become politically engaged.
Hmm, a proportion of leave voters were far from politically engaged, to be fair. You know how it's dreadful how the Left sneers at white van man for being ignorant? Well, it's both dreadful and true. :-(
I fear that the vast majority of conservatives who are capable of cogent thought have actually surrendered, beaten by 70 years of socialism.
That's only true if by 'traditional conservatives' you mean 'old people' because as has been pointed out to you many times, we only voted leave because of the 55+ vote so any narrative which suggests that it was part of a movement of some kind which spans all age groups is simply incorrect.
There was a large proportion of both sides that weren't particularly politically engaged. So what? It doesn't alter the fact that a lot of Leave voters were politically engaged. Nobody was suggesting that this trend was universal.
And I don't think conservatives have surrendered. They've just gone underground to avoid being called racist and screamed at by lefties.
It's a movement because sufficient numbers of the brainwashed post-1975 generations have retained sufficient independence of mind to stick two fingers up to their masters rather than meekly doing as they're told. By doing so, those people shaped the outcome of the referendum just as much as the over-55s.
But that's what I mean; by going underground to avoid having falafel crumbs spat into our faces by screeching harridans, we have surrendered.
The triumph of the Left is in sight. Mark my words, all it needs is enough division within the Conservative party to envoke a vote of no confidence, a general election, and *bosh* it will be all over. They will have absolute control, cultural, moral and political, and they will never, ever surrender it.
