Observers were dispatched to the East End of London where they spied on young girls hanging around the "toilet" counter in Woolworths, or applying makeup in the ladies' lavatories in Stepney. Cinema, then, acted as a powerful kind of informal education in the inter-war years.
It widened horizons and raised aspirations. In the words of film historian Annette Kuhn, it "extended imaginings of what a woman could be". Female audiences were entranced by strong, sexually confident women, often ambitious and powerful, certainly aware of their charms. Actresses such as Barbara Stanwyck, Jean Harlow and Dietrich played some wonderfully assertive — sometimes transgressive — roles.
Dietrich's performances in the Sternberg films were a high point of cinematic glamour. Whether resplendent in jet and coq-feathers, sashaying down the corridor of the night train in Shanghai Express , or alluring in feathery fronds that positively pullulate in The Scarlet Empress , Dietrich's sexual self-possession was inescapable.
It was clearly born of experience "It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily" , which put it firmly beyond the pale of respectability and conventional virtue.
Glamour's slide away from respectability continued after the war. With the impact of Christian Dior's New Look in the s, class and elegance were in, and glamour started to look tacky.
The coronation of Elizabeth II encouraged nostalgia for old-fashioned forms of femininity. Women's magazines became obsessed with the ceremonial attire of princesses and peeresses; class, debutantes and deference gained a new lease of life. Domestically oriented magazines tended to avoid using the word glamour, which was becoming tarnished by its growing associations with cheesecake photography, pin-up nudes, or scantily dressed models in soft-porn magazines.
Many in middle-class England looked askance at the bosom-flaunting antics of Diana Dors or Sabrina, oozing disapproval of "good-time girls" who might be dismissed as "no better than they looked" or "all fur coat and no knickers". Young ladies were not supposed to draw attention to themselves, and what was glamour about if not self-assertion? In the s, with the cult of youth, dolly birds, duffle coats and Carnaby Street, the signs and symbols of what was now regarded as old-fashioned glamour — red lips, ample curves, rich furs and complex, musky perfumes — were discarded by the young as outdated, or worse, as suggestive of "kept woman" status.
Glamour modelling is an art form more concentrated on the physical and even inner parts of the human body. It puts a lot more emphasis on the sexuality of a model instead of their clothing.

The lack of vote was just one in a list of many symptoms of our general subordination at large. This was perfectly encapsulated by the bullying factory boss in the movie, played by Geoff Bell, who exemplified industrialized sexual abuse through his persistent low-level mistreatment of the women workers.
In short, he treated them as disposable and sexually available fodder. Much of this cruelty was at the hand of men in superior positions — such as bosses who were in charge of their wage packet.

I have a quick exercise for you: take an hour and flip through some of the most popular porn on the Internet. The female? Actively taking orders and being degraded, which she somehow appears to enjoy. She is always the spectacle. The audience, the camera, and the male are buddies in this. They all together watch the woman taking it from every angle. We see her do her very best to please, to service; the same old story over and over again.
One might think we were cattle. In a pornographic scene that I recently watched, two men were having intercourse with a well-known porn actress. They regularly reposition her as they want her — with her then ending up on her knees as she smiled broadly and pretended to love having two big penises slapped hard around her face before her entire countenance, including her opened eyes, were smothered with ejaculation.
Some of us think that, in Western culture, feminism is no longer needed. After all, we have comfortable enough lives. The commodity culture is at our fingertips; holidays abroad, education, all very lovely. Consider that we are being lied to. That we are grossly and doggedly anchored to these oppressive representations. These views of women are being spoon-fed to our children and shaping the new generations, who unconsciously look at each other in an altogether fresh perversity.
The selfie predominantly carries connotations of porn chic. Look around — at the children, who value themselves on their sexual offerings. Imagine if you grew up on a diet of animalistic sex available at the touch of a button, witnessing women pressing giant dildos into themselves and getting gang banged by groups of men.
