The feminist commentariat insists that the model, Renee Somerfield, is an unrealistic portrayal of womanhood, and, therefore, the advert could potentially hurt women’s allegedly delicate feelings. ‘Not everyone’s priority is having a “beach body”’, fumes the Change.org petition, which has got over 50,000 signatures. ‘Making somebody feel guilty for not prioritising it by questioning their personal choices is a step too far.’ Now, a demonstration has been organised in Hyde Park on Saturday in protest at Protein World’s promotion of ‘negative body issues’. For those who know anything about feminist outrage, this response was all too predictable. (28/04/15)
