Call me a humourless Feminazi if you like, but this email is not about raising awareness of breast cancer. It's about using a disease that has a devasting impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as a spurious justification for discussing saucy undies. It's about women trying to show that they're uninhibited and up for a laugh by inviting their friends to speculate about them in their underwear rather than to think about them as sentient, intelligent human beings. It's about women objectifying themselves. And for anyone who believes that the updates are really only for us gals I'd invite you to compare the number of updates saying "red satin w little bows" with the number saying "grey cotton (orig. white), straps frayed, bought Bhs 2001".

I'd love to post this on. And it would result in such alienation that I dare not. But it's GREAT that there are others out there who think and dare to write about this. xxx
Brilliant. And I also agree with Clare. Posting something like this would virtually alienate one from everybody who has stepped onto this bandwagon.
