3. I wish she'd have made the most of that teachable moment.

But the most telling detail is the way it described the female MPs as walking “the Downing Street catwalk”. Because in the deluded mindset of the Mail and many other media outlets, women exist to be looked at, and for their hotness to be judged accordingly, hence the paper’s insistence that women “flaunt” their legs (when they are in fact just walking) or that they are on a “catwalk” (when they are simply on their way to work.) McVey cravenly, or maybe just obtusely, insisted she wasn’t bothered by the Mail’s coverage because “it highlights all these wonderful women”. Yes, and their thighs. Oh, thank you for thinking I’m hot, Daily Mail!


Way to miss an opportunity, McVey.
