In fact, that's why we should be more against the damn thing. You're totally clueless and, like I said, actually quite disgusting with some things you come out with.
More just the fact you said "cast X cos she's bang tidy" and then threw on "great actress" like an afterthought or as though a secondary comment. Disgusting. She looks great, she's pretty, all the rest, sure, but I wouldn't gunna go around saying "hey, I'd cast X cos she's bang tidy". Christ, DB. You're paying nine grand for education presumably - so get some.”
It's hard not to objectify women. It's alright saying it's something that needs to be stopped but how
do you stop? We all objectify women in our heads. Imagine how much harder it would be for a media company to stop given how widely its always been done.
Besides, male actors are objectified just as much as female ones currently but you don't get people complaining about that.
