JSP can take it to a whole new level regarding the way she dresses and rape. I'm not agreeing with that I'm saying that as someone who has a very serious important job these types of picture are inappropriate and I;d say that if it was a man or woman.

..I wasn't sure what my thoughts were on this so I've been giving it a bit of though..and I think I agree with you, it would be the same if it was a male as well although I think it would be perceived differently though..?..maybe with a male it would be more 'laughed at' in a not taking him seriously way but with a female, it's more 'disapproval/dislike..' sort of thing..?..I do think that there may be a different reaction and females are a lot more actually criticised....anyway, I agree with you..in some jobs especially, these things are relevant...I mean, it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to show cleavage etc with my job and to post pics/selfies etc which were public wouldn't be good either..if I do it privately and without 'public access' to what I'm wearing then that's fine ..and she looks amazing/great body etc...but it's only going to make her be taken less seriously by distracting from her politics...that's fine if she doesn't mind that but I think to not be aware that would happen is very naive....
