‘Does posting half-naked thirst traps on Instagram make me seem less intelligent?’ asks Georgia Aspinall. Find out more on Grazia.
Obviously, there are a range of reasons women wouldn’t want to post their half-naked bodies on Instagram – which I can completely understand. But there is one reason that bugs me, and it’s the one I hear most, more so from people outside of my industry than it.
But the fear of a Google deep-dive from clients isn’t the only reason she’s turned off from posting anything that could be seen as sexual, it’s also knowing colleagues will see the images. ‘In my experience, it's an unwritten rule at most offices,’ she says, ‘There’s an assumption that other people will feel uncomfortable seeing your naked body, so if you have colleagues following you on social media it’s a definite no.
I am just as good at my job when I’m wearing a polo neck and trousers as I am in a bikini. And frankly, if it makes someone feel uncomfortable seeing nudity, that says more about them than it does my ability to do my job. But it’s not just about thewith nudity that we seem to have in Britain, is it? It’s also about how people sexualise female nudity constantly - and without their consent.
Obviously, I don’t walk around naked in day to day life because I’d rather not be ostracised by society, but if I had my way I absolutely would – and no one would bat an eyelid or try and have sex with me .It’s the same with posting online, am I meant to avoid showing my body in pictures just to ensure people aren’t sexually attracted to me and ultimately have no respect for my brain? By that logic, I shouldn’t go out in a short skirt to ensure I’m not cat-called.
