Women Are Their Own Worst Enemies Janice Turner

Janice Turner in The Times today bemoans the fact that it is hard to imagine a single woman politician today who, if Prime Minister, would not be "ripped to shreds for her looks, clothes, voice; her irreducible femaleness".  Well yes love, but most of the ripping and shredding would be done by magazines run by women for women.  If being treated as sex objects is a major problem for women wanting to make their way in the world, the blame for that rests at least as much with women as it does with men.
