Paul Russell: Sexism and feminism and bums

Who says a 42-year-old female can’t turn heads? Former fashion model Carla Bruni did just that this week when photos of her and Spanish Princess Letizia were published in papers around the globe. What angered some Post readers is that we ran a full-page photo showing these two women from the back. This “gratuitous bum shot” was further dissected in Anne Marie Owens’ column, “Carla Bruni: Bad for feminism.” (To make it clear to readers what was at issue, we helpfully ran another photo of the women’s backsides with Owens’ column.)
This cheeky coverage provoked quite a reaction.
“What’s worse for feminism is an article bemoaning ‘gratuitous bum shots’ being used as an excuse to run a big ol’ gratuitous bum shot,” wrote Arisa Cox. “It was a trap, and the Post fell for it. On purpose.”
Other readers felt Ms. Owens was misguided in her criticism of Ms. Bruni.
“This column profoundly shows how empty feminist rhetoric has become,” wrote Wendy Knox. “To be relevant, feminists need to be seen shouting from roof tops protesting the rape and death of women killed in Sudan, the denial of education to women in Afghanistan, having women “honour” killed by their own brothers and fathers and being stripped of fundamental rights that we take for granted in Canada. Until then, don’t write trite words about women derrières and expect to be taken seriously.”
Emily Jansons agreed that feminism has bigger enemies than the French First Lady.
“It is the media that takes the photos, writes the headlines and articles and emphasizes these ‘backward’ images of women,” Ms. Jansons wrote.
“It is the media, and by extension our society’s hunger for coverage of fashion, marriage and celebrity stories, that is bad for feminism — not Carla Bruni.”
-- It’s no secret that the future of print newspapers is itself in the news. This is one of the reasons why the Post ran a series called “Pressing Matters” this week, allowing columnists to explain how newspapers have affected their lives. A handful of readers also weighed in on this topic.
“I love the National Post and have been a loyal reader since 1998,” wrote Gary J. Smith. “The highlight of my long day is to head out to the magazine store and pick up the Post. I currently enjoy George Jonas, Robert Fulford, Jonathan Kay, Barbara Kay and, of course, Conrad Black! So thanks for your lovely tribute to newspaper reading.”
After noting that he has “enjoyed reading about the influence that newspapers have made on the lives of various Post writers,” John Clubine listed some quotes from celebrities “who have been influenced by the printed paper.”
My favourite was a quip from Thomas Jefferson: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
-- The Post’s decision to drop the print edition of the Monday paper for the summer brought in many notes of dismay — but also letters that show just how loyal our readership is.
“The decision not to publish a Monday edition is, of course, disappointing; but considering the circumstances, quite understandable,” wrote Stephen Boyling. “Better a Tuesday-through-Saturday paper than none at all. I would be more than pleased to see my subscription rate increased if it meant the survival of this outstanding paper. Your recent [Pressing Matters] columns on the value/benefit that newspapers provide only heightened [my appreciation] of their necessity.”
“I will pay double for Monday papers,” stated an unsigned e-mail. “Don’t stop. You are the only thing worth getting up for on Mondays!”
Other readers said (jokingly, we hope) that this tweak to our publishing schedule would have a real impact on their personal lives.
“Dropping the Monday edition for the next few months is going to cause me deep personal distress for which I may need to see my therapist … again,” wrote Michael Brooks.
“My marriage may be at risk, since my wife and I might just have to converse at the breakfast table on Mondays, which has been unheard of for at least six years now.”

Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love

For the first time, Angelina Jolie has described what happened between her and Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith – and she insists she never had any intention of breaking up his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. When she first met her costar on the set of the thriller in 2003, "I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life," Jolie, 31, says in the January issue of Vogue, according to excerpts published in the New York Post. "But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects. "And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives. ... I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't. I was quite content to be a single mom." But "Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from ... the media," she says. "Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work.' ... Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair." They didn't start thinking about a relationship right away, she says. "It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration." The two remained "very, very good friends" from the time the movie wrapped in 2004 until after Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January 2005, Jolie says. Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split was "not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. "And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends – with this realization – for a long time," she says. "And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do." In fact, it was her son, Madddox, now 5, who helped seal the deal. (Jolie and Pitt are also parents to Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months.) One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family." Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be her decision, and I would welcome it." Pitt has said he and Jolie would not wed until all couples can legally marry, and Jolie agrees that tying the knot is not a priority. "We both have been married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some people together," she says. "We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing."
