This millennial brand of feminism is all about women ‘reclaiming’ the right to be sexy; the idea being that decades of shame and guilt meant women couldn’t ‘embrace their sexuality’. Thus, being overtly sexy is cast as something feisty and cool, a revenge on the patriarchy. As Audrey Hepburn said of the pressure to be sexy on screen: ‘There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. Should we tell sexy women to tone it down in case it unsettles some people or puts undue pressure on the younger generation? This is what true parity means: a woman should be able to express her sexuality with impunity, just like a man.
