Re: Portrayal of women: (split)

What I discussed with Garinda was private between me and him. It was not insulting you at any time Slinky, nor your sister. I was discussing something with him which I did not wish to discuss on the open board, which I do not wish to discuss with anyone else and which has absolutely nothing to do with you. It is personal.

Now, for the record if anyone goes up to Tinks as she said earlier and says "God isn't your sister thin" then yes I agree with her that it's an insult and they have absolutely no right to say such a thing. Anyone doing so should be ashamed of themselves

Apart from anything else though I don't see that either of you are unnaturally thin. I think you both look great. I wish I could look the same.

I actually said to Busman that night at the Boar's Head when you, Tinkerbelle and AccyMel were sitting together, that I wished I could be as slim as you three because you have a figure I would die for but cannot ever hope to acheive. If you were my sister and anyone said to me "God isn't your sister thin" then I would find that as offensive as them saying to me "God aren't you fat." I would also think they were slightly barmy because there's nothing remarkable, odd, unusual or whatever about the way you look.

The point is that the original comment about models wasn't about normal slim people it was about people who are not a normal natural size and stay that way by starving themselves and living off drugs - it's that lifstyle method of being what they are and portraying it as desireable which was the point raised.
