What kind of a role model is a married woman who get smashed on national TV and gets half naked into a hot tub with an 18 year old? It's not about being prudish, it's about having self respect. Even the loose women are a bit dodgy about talking about it, can't see her getting the "doing it for the girls" support on this one.

But the thing is, the ideas of 'role models' and 'self respect' are also socially invented concepts. They aren't set in stone, they've just been dreamt up by society over time. Why do you not have self respect if you decide to get your tits out on national TV or otherwise? Why? Why is it such a bad thing that's looked down upon? I don't know how to explain it, but it just doesn't make sense when you think about it properly. How can it mean you don't have any self respect when it's something that is just socially unacceptable, but that doesn't mean it's wrong?

It doesn't harm anyone. The only things people should be worried about in society is things that do hurt people properly, things like murder, rape, torture etc. Those are the real problems, not older women getting their tits out and behaving like younger women (not that there should be any difference with how they act).

Giving consideration to her children should be things like not revealing any of their personal secrets on national TV, but I don't see why her getting her tits out should be looked down upon. It's time that people stopped being so uptight about stuff like this, because that's all that it is. There isn't a problem with it when people think about it properly, people just think there is because that's what they've grown up with, but as with most things, that doesn't necessarily make it right.
