it is also irrelevant whether i am or you are a feminist or not . it is about social evolution and accepting women making their own decisions. and their right not be judged with double standards. i am not oblivious to the fact that women are catty to each other as well as men behaving like gorillas.

Chloe making decisions for herself has nothing to do with feminism. Though I have no problem with her using her sexuality to make money, many feminists would argue that conforming to male ideals of beauty and submitting herself to 'the male gaze' as part of her business, is especially contradictory to feminist principles.
It's certainly true that we enjoy great freedom in the U'K compared to the vast majority of countries, but it's ridiculous to bolt on the struggles of women around the world to your analysis of Saira's reaction to Chloe.
Saira may describe herself as a feminist but the term has different meanings for different people. The in-fighting amongst feminists over the last fifty years, shows that the movement has been rife with division.
