ED balls found the film material “disturbing”. I agree. Although I would add “deeply creepy” to describe what happened on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. The 47-year-old Kanye West can be seen how he trains his wife Bianca Censori (30) by removing her fur coat to stand naked under a mere (ie completely transparent) slip dress. Censori looks at my eye, anxious, trapped. But also strangely catatonic. An expert in body language said that her attitude was too confident and interpreted (in the coat) too “uncomfortable and embarrassed” (without her). Hardly surprising.
Since it came together with west, Censori has been photographed almost naked in public, according to reports on the existence of her husband. West’s ex, Kim Kardashian said he also checked her wardrobe. He has a long story in being a horrific person, especially the way he treats women. Obviously, Censori has to put him. But she needs instructions.
There is a strange deviation. In the world of celebrity/social media/Trump White House, men want women to increasingly pebble. Things slowly improve in the normal, non-famous, non-social media world. In the past, the male compulsion to get female clothing was to get them more, more, no less to wear. Now, in the civilized world, far fewer men are trying to control their wife’s wardrobe in this way than, for example, 50 years ago. Even traditionalists look horrified in Islamic clothing codes for women.

Sexist fifties advertising that women say how to get dressed to please men are now mocked. The judges no longer say rape victims that they have invited sexual attacks by wearing a short skirt. The average woman in the middle gland, who is on a Friday evening with the girls at Prosecco A’clock, wears what she likes. If one of the gangs entrusted that their husband had problems with a short skirt or a exposed splitting, the rest of her would open her in Mumsnet “LTB” (leave the bastard).
I would not dream of telling my wife what to wear. (Or what do not wear, in the West.) More revealing? Less revealing? Looser? Narrower? Not my call. Ok, if she wanted to model the censor “fur coat then no panties”, for example to make Uncle Daves 90th in King Billy in Cottingham, west of Hull, I would try to dissuade it for all possible reason to dissuade them, For reasonable reasons, to dissuade sensible reasons for reasonable reasons, and for sensible reasons, to dissuade sensible reasons in order to dissuade them, for reasonable reasons not least among them. In this extreme case, intervention would deserve. I would certainly not stand next to her on the street and call the shots.
Most normal men know that they can prevent outfits from expressing opinions (always assumed, we have some). We limit ourselves when we make sense, “you look great”. At the request for explanation, we ask the fifth change to avoid self -crime. I once noticed that a complicated, layered new dress looked as if it was still in his dry cleaning bag. This observation can still put me in the full sink cycle 20 years later. Since then I have channeled my Allied Airman allied allied allied allied. Name, rank and serial number. This is all you get.
It feels wrong to even argue the case against West, supposedly instruct his wife, to expose himself because the act may be able to give false legitimacy. It is as to say: “It is wrong to torture animals for fun”, as if there could be a world in which such cruelty was of moral validity. But obviously it is necessary to do the case because young people, although I am influenced by a considerable minority of young men, by Western such as West, Andrew Tate and Donald Trump. These young people like dictators, we found out last week. And death penalty. And many of them do not like submission women. And they think that such settings are appealing.
Take it from me, guys, you are not. Microragement in the West style is wrong. It’s strange, women hate it and do you know what? It makes you look silly and weak because you are silly and weak what you are. You try to be hard, but be insured. The observation world believes that you are pathetic.
Are Z really Mollycoddled?
Gareth Parker-Jones, head of the Rugby School, believes that it has to have problems with anxiety because they have Mollycoddled in childhood, with their mothers and fathers overdos the real risks and at the same time ignore online. He has a point, especially about the risks of leaving young people from their telephones. Australia has the right idea: prohibit social media for under 16 years.
Why should you risk exploiting your teenager suicide website? Or anorexia forums? Or sadistic pornography? Why should you have an obvious false misfortune like Elon Musk unreserved influence on your children? What is possible to justify such neglect of parents? With the poor form, their children used to park in front of some cartoons while taking a breather. Now the average 14-year-old is susceptible to every crackpot theory on the planet, and his parents throw their hands in defeat and choose to consider them as an inevitable part of growing up.
Parker-Jones’s argument that society is obsessed with eliminating the entire risk of childhood in a “culture of security” is more complex. Just look at the sport that has its name from Parker-Jones’ school. I guess he is a rugby fan like me. But I am glad that my son’s school does not forced him to play the game as a 12-year-old boy, as was the norm in many British schools. Full -flowered contact sport will always be a minority taste and should not be imposed on those who are not suitable for how it was in my day. Yes, we should all be for an “adventurous game”, but that shouldn’t return to “violence and pain make a man of them”, which is if we are honest, as it used to be.
