A Woman's Right to Choos

Sister Bear's

latest column
for the Evening Standard is sure to set the tin-foil hat brigade (they know who they are,) right off. Will they be able to handle the fact that she quotes Nadine Dorries? Dear lord, it must be further proof of the big right-wing conspiracy:

"Unwittingly I had strayed into a war zone: this week the TUC said it would like to see heels, which it terms “sexist” and “inappropriate”, outlawed in the workplace. Suddenly I'd been elevated not just by a key few inches but to the status of an activist.

As though her Louboutins were about to be impounded, Tory MP Nadine Dorries raged in the blogosphere: “I feel like a lone voice speaking out for every woman … Don't worry, girls. I will not give up on this. The unions will not have their way and defeminise us.”

There is something irresistible in the idea that one of the final acts of Brown-era dreariness could be the banning of heels."


All those rants by TB seem to have paid off!

He keeps telling SB to start her own blog...

Peter O: You seem to have missed the pun, and failed to read the article, since your linkspam is irrelevant.

It's nothing to do with pro-choice, just a clever turn of phrase. But, hey, with the quality of "analysis" you seem to employ, I'm not entirely surprised you didn't get it...

How many times...?

The TUC are not seeking to ban high heels, they just want to ban employers insisting on the wearing of high heels as part of a dress code.

Jeez...
