Female gaze...
I wasn't familiar with Elle King before seeing her on Graham Norton, and thought I'd look her up on youtube. And just look what I found:
Which is a nice anti-dote to stuff like this.
(Not that Elle King isn't gorgeous of course.) (ETA: ISN'T! Dammit, why can't I type?)
Or this, which I had to walk past every day for weeks on my way to work. I can't think of another movie poster I have loathed quite so much. Somehow 'objectification' takes on a whole other level.

I have been wondering about whether a man can ever be a feminist. MY youngest son is a feminist but he is also young. I am hoping there are good influences out there.
But sometimes I think the adage "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than for a rich man to enter heaven" is also true for rich men ever being feminists.
Human nature; ALL humans, cling to advantage.
