I disagree with your point. First off Holly has campaigned for nothing. I doubt the 'women' you speak of would have approved of Holly stripping just to promote a crap song that wouldn't sell if she hadn't. If a woman wants to empower herself the way Nat does then they shouldn't strip or latch on to a bloke. They should do it through they're convictions and opinions.

People like Holly fucking Valance don't empower themselves and they aren't good examples of female equality.

Please! I’ve spoken to women about their views on people like Holly Valance and they are disgusted. She’s just another object of sexual lust. How I don’t know since she’s damn ugly, but that’s not the point. How are young girls going to feel about themselves when we have skinny young females dancing around naked in their clips with people praising her for it? It promotes low self-esteem and anorexia. Normal girls can’t measure up to that and never will so they think they’re not good enough or something’s wrong with them. It’s not right. Most women are beautiful (the exception of skanks, Billie Piper and Christina Aguilera of course :D), but they’ll never realise it if they have to be compared to celebrities their whole lives.

Celebrities are an illusion. Magazines edit photo shoot pictures all the time to make their waists thinner and their legs longer. They cover up the imperfections to make the person seem perfect when really they’re just like everyone else in the world. They get cellulite, wrinkles and spots. Do you know how many times Britney Spears has to be touched up in her video clips? Probably once every 60 seconds.

I’m not a feminist but I believe women do not get a fair go in life. How can you accuse me of such chauvinism? I speak my mind and I’m not afraid to tell you what I think. I also don’t judge people by their appearance or what they do. It’s what’s on the inside that counts. You on the other hand are prejudice. You’re having a go at me over my anti-pop views. Well excuse me for wanting girls to go up with better role models!
