UK government deployed last week in public, that
women deserve no accountability, especially if you
can blame the issue on their "vanity".
B
they, unlike men, aren’t very careful with their own
health: vanity, as the participants of the Newsnight
program have demonstrated, is still the determinant
factor when it comes to make choices involving one’s
body.
C
society, as a whole, still treats them as second-class

minister’s or the frightened participants of the
Newsnight program’s, still fall in a void and get no
answers.
D
women prefer glossy magazines over medicine
journals and are generally prone to throw caution out
of the window as soon as someone, somehow, offers
them the opportunity to get the “perfect body.”
E
