It’s Friday, so let’s have a look at what the red tops have to say about the world. A glance at the Sun is enough, for there we find Julie Burchill, the high priestess of contemporary counter-intuitive feminism, in rude health. A self-proclaimed “TOTAL feminist”, Burchill comes out with all guns (or should that, in Sun-speak, be ‘bazookas’?) blazing in favour of naked female breasts. She doesn’t like women wearing burkas, for to do so is to obscure their breasts. Here’s a line or two from Ms Burchill’s textbook example of the tabloid feature:
As someone who has never had any trouble getting three-dimensional cuties to get their kit off without paying for it, maybe, as a Christian, I shouldn’t judge those who can’t.
But equally weird are those who get upset about naked photos, be they of curvy, lad-mag totty or titless, high-fashion hottie. What are they scared of? And DON’T tell me that voluntary, well-paid, kit-offing is an offence against everything feminists have historically fought for.
Brilliant. Just DON’T argue, OK? Burchill concludes in similarly unabashed tones:
Where the female body is forcibly covered in public, you will find mass sexual enslavement.
Which is the more offensive? If you really find freedom more frightening and distasteful than the lack of it when it comes to women taking their clothes off, then I suggest it is you, and not the likes of Keeley [a renowned Sun Page 3 girl], who has the wrong attitude.
A few weeks wearing the badge of shame that is the burka might sort out your priorities a treat, my sour sisters.
And if you find inner peace by dressing like a parrot’s cage that someone forgot to take the drape off of, good for you!
Just don’t expect the rest of us to follow you.
Many of us, if we were asked to follow Burchill – for example, on a guided tour of a country in the Middle East – might also decline. Politely, of course.
