Call me sexist or whatever, but I can't really take anything seriously if its said by someone showing so much cleavage.
Not because I'm too busy oggling or whatever, but because the impression I get is "Listen to what I have to say, I have big boobs, look".
If she were to cover up, in my mind she'd be more credible.
I'd be interested to see what both genders make of my views to be honest,
Bit harsh, mate, she can wear whatever she wants. We men never have to contend with anyone judging whether or not we're worth listening to on our appearance, so let's not fall in the trap of contributing to this prejudice. As it is, you've barely got any chance of presenting a programme on TV if you're female unless you look like a model. There are no such pressures placed on men, even though there is a whole strata of social programming which is aimed at men which is possibly equally destructive.
True, it wasn't meant to come across as harsh, I just call things as I see them. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything wrong with dressing nice and stuff, just for me personally, if a particular way of dressing looks purposefully over sexed it sort of takes away the message.
That goes for men as well though, granted there aren't many examples but it would be the same sort of thing if a man in good shape did the same video with his top off. The whole "look at me" thing is what I get from it, rather than "listen to me", which is how it should be really.
I'm not trying to perpetuate prejudice, but by being honest, if anything, I might just learn something or see things from another perspective.
