    I always look at things from a female point of view, so can't really imagine men being judged like that?



    Depends on the field you're in. When discussing the topic, we tend to focus on women in the entertainment field, which is saturated with looks-based criteria, and men in the professional world. For a number of reasons, the data aren't comparable. Plus, women tend to like older men; men tend to like younger women.

    On a side note, socially, it's probably far worse for gay men than for straight women.

    Difficult for me to comment, being a gay woman and all that.

    I do most of the judging in my field, I have to admit, haha!


    Oh, the lezzos have it easier than any of us.

    If Mirror had a head it would be shaking it over the sexist comments expressed in the Monica Bellucci to Star in New Video thread.

    At one time Ms Goldfrapp seemed to defiantly stand against such superficial sexist things. Sadly she seems to have fallen prey to it herself, all of Felt Mountain, really, and then Clowns, Satin Chic, etc.

    i just had to have a look back at that thread, i'm not sure which ones you mean, as a woman i didn't feel there was anything offensive there? 
    just wondered which ones you felt differently about?

    Anyway, Alison won't be getting it easier now she's come over to our side, haha!



    Mind, she's still catering to a general population.

    At the end of the day the question should be if it matters that Alison can still reach those high notes.
    It's not what defines her.
    We all get older. I used to be able to lift two crates of beer. Seems a bit banal (is this proper English?). But that's just the way it is.
    They're still people made of flesh and blood, not machines.

    Me, I like the little cracks and imperfections, makes me feel human (not a dud)

    I don't wanna talk about my personal life again least of all on this thread can we just be OK with that?


    I didn't realize I'd written a single word about your personal life.

    yeah me too. when Hardy described Tess (of the D'urbervilles) he said she was "perfect in her imperfections", he was right. its the flaws that make us.
