One gripe however- to do with the comments. First; two wrongs don't make a right- insulting thin women (I am NOT one BTW) is equally nasty as insulting larger women. Additionally, what someone else regards as 'natural beauty' does not need to be patronisingly instructed to be 'noted' by women (or 'fellow human beings', of equal status, not there for ANYONE to boss around, as we are otherwise known). ...I thought part of the amusement in this was the outdated nature of the 'compliant secretary'. I think the ironic humour has been lost on some and they think this is what women should aspire to (status wise, I mean).
