Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I’ve only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

Imo the article writers probably feel that they are decrying the way people are demeaning her, but it’s just adding visibility for the judgemental.

It’s a double edged sword. Everybody’s got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive

It’s clickbait. The fact that the clickbait is demeaning is incidental. They’re maximizing whatever sensational clickbait title they can get. At least their heart isn’t intentionally evil, just incidentally evil.

And a bunch of people saying “OMG, it’s Florence Pugh …… and she’s even fitter !!!”

(I assume, but not taking the bait)

At least it contains the word “shamed”. Shaming someone is usually seen as unfair and judgmental.

I don’t know what this article is about, and I’d rather not engage with this segment of society to find out, but from a quick Google images search it seems like she recently (?) caught flack for a Valentino dress, which was very sheer and through which her nipples could be seen. But anyone who’s been paying any attention to fashion at all would know that sheer is very much “in”. The latest Yves Saint Laurent line is a prime example of this. As for the quality of her body, which seems to be an unusually frequent topic, why’s it anyone’s business? Can a woman exist anywhere on this planet and not be objectified and scrutinized like livestock?

Every time those perfect faces or perfect bodies are projected into media, it demeans us all.
