While I'm delighted that Mary Beard is comfortable in her body, to conclude from that that battles around female objectification and sexual commodification have been won betrays a serious ignorance of the ongoing issues of ageist and sexistdiscrimination faced by women in relation to their appearance.
It is a completely sexist article, which you can expect to be published in a developing country (where discrimination against women is very high) but not from a developed country (where discrimination does occur but not as much as in developing countries).
