She is wearing a dress with a high split which is meant to show a length of leg, looks great I might add, and then is asked to show that leg, and then is offended? Iβm confused and Iβm a woman π€·π»ββοΈπ
The amount of leg she wanted to show was visible in the split. The demand to show her leg means "show more leg", like shouting to a stripper "take it off, take it all off." To her point, a man wearing a tight sleeveless shirt would never be asked to show more of his torso by a photographer, no matter how much more appealing it might be. Ms. Waddingham was beautifully dressed, not at all tawdry, and was rightly insulted when ordered to pose like a sex object to satiate the desire of a photographer. This brought to mind Angelina Jolie cocking her legs at an award show (Google Angelina Jolie leg photo) and the result was extremely distasteful.
If that is what you got from this article, then youβre missing the point. Itβs not about the dress. How about you put on your thinking cap, read it again, and try really hard to think below the surface. Iβm sure you can do it. I believe in you.
Sheβs wearing a dress with a spilt on the leg up to the waist! Itβs a style of dress that photographs well when you can see the leg! Sure, the photographer wouldnβt say that to a man because most men donβt wear glitzy gowns with splits at the leg!

As you can see in the second picture in the article, the dress is not split up to the waist.

I canβt believe women made that statement
Ok
