You know, I’m reading this article in Vanity Fair about Jon Favreau, the Obama speechwriter caught in a photo groping a cardboard cut out of Hillary, that I’m sure you’ve already seen and I won’t post it. The gist of the article wonders why Favreau has yet to be fired, and why sexist incidents are seemingly pooh-pooh’ed as nothing. And that’s all well and good, but as I’m reading the article, I saw this picture of Kate Winslet’s ass next to it:
As far as photos of women wearing nothing but high heels go, it’s tasteful. And that last sentence contains about as much irony as I see in this Vanity Fair piece. Note to whoever the editors are there: when discussing feminism, avoid showing pictures of nearly naked women. Because while Favreau was caught in a sexist photo and should be fired, you’re profiting off soft core.
And if it takes you being told more than once to learn this lesson, then please repeat after me…
