The Daily Mail front page picturing Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon and asking “who won Legs-it” has been condemned as “moronic” sexism. The tabloid was scorned for focusing on the prime minister’s and first minister’s legs during talks on Brexit and on a second Scottish referendum. We spoke to Harriet Hall, who is the Digital Features Editor with Stylist Magazine and Angela Epstein, who writes comment and opinion pieces for the Daily Mail.

Probably the best frontpage headline of a newspaper what a creative mind of the editor VERY HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂
They both chose to wear skirts, therefore they both chose to show off their legs, hence why they chose to wear nylons. Women have always enjoyed compliments, only the prude feminists don't!
The fact that this was written by a woman is more than moronic
Treason. both of them .
being attracted to someone is not sexism
it wouldn't be considered sexist is someone commented on two men
it would probably be mentioning "toxic masculinity"
it's a sexist term. as a man, i have genuinely felt uncomfortable as a man when i've been told i'm being toxically masculine for arbitrary things such as throwing a stick into a river.
male sexism exists.
LoL, This was written by a female journalist…
It's a very sexy picture, two incredible pairs of legs
It is a really sexy picture , both pairs are gorgeous
Holy shit, nobody cares about these two skanks legs.
You couldn't have England or Scotland being led by women with wonky legs, any more than you could have a man with a tossed quiff leading the world's paradigm democracy. Churchill's standing up to Hitler was due in no small measure to those two sturdy tree trunks he called his legs, even if he was conspicuously deficient in the quiff department, indicating the predominance of pegs over follicles). A fine pair of pins (or shanks) on a woman are one of their more striking features, all the better to squat (or hunker) down (as oriental woman are adept at doing) to 'throw' you a fine child. And these two girls have even better legs than an older Trevor Howard as Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty, even if a younger Marlon Brando as First Officer Fletcher Christian couldn't contain the occasional chortle at his bow leggedness in stockings at peril of his life.
Angela epstein is hot!
Scottish means North Korean?!
Indeed LEGS-IT, HERE HERE, I SHALL CHARGE ME COCK AND WANK TO THAT ONE. CALL ME CARZY,. BUT I QUITE FANCY THE IDEA OF AN ORGY WITH ME AND THEM TWO MINXES
Some peoples nature is to work and strive to achieve what they want.
Others nature is to be offended complain and nag to get what they want.
It's evolution, baby.
Three words to this retarded UK Rachel Maddow wannabe feminist… Get Over It.
Who is that strange boy?yes a feminist
Le Pen is a true feminist. These here are phony feminists.
Milliband insulting the 1950s, shame on him.
“I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust.” Charles Baudelaire.
Though I don't think that is true for every newspaper, it is particularly apt for the Daily Mail. I am sure Baudelaire (assuming he could read English) would have been appalled by it. He would also have wondered, as a nineteenth century French gentleman, why ladies should flaunt their legs like this.
How is it "sexist"?
Angela Epstein is a dick
Nothing sexist here ….move on.
The very important message here is no matter what she does a woman will be judged on her looks; so taking care of them is a priority. Other women will try sabotaging her by attacking her choice of clothing.
First Minister of Scotland = female.
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom = female.
SJW's = "This is sexism."
nice legs, shame about the faces!
Two powerful witches. Lol.
bbc libtards. thank christ its days are numbered
This whole story is a sick joke. I do not care. Don't pay your licence fee for this nonsense.
feminism hates women
Did these phony feminists ever fly to Saudi Arabia to protest the horrible treatment of women there?
You can see the decline of Europe , nothing is not out of reach for discussion or opinion , but world wide problems will take a back seat , its a shame religion left the nation , earthquakes worldwide 100000% increase flooding , poverty , etc shame on the people
A moronic headline certainly. Of course Theresa May contributed to the fight against sexism by doing a spread in American Vogue.
front page :O it's a bit of fun I'm guessing but not everyone found it funny. give them a 2-week ban from publishing stories or just move on and get over it and laugh about it
I think Angela made a good argument. I'm with her on this.
eww Boris
I love how they talk about all these things Men do that they don't like but, they never yell at women for doing the EXACT same things to men. All I'm trying to say here is either you call out when EVERYONE, Men AND women do it or you don't. If you just pick one to focus on and not the other then your being a hypocrite. I'm not sure what its like across the pond but in Canada you see half naked men on magazine covers MORE then women. Its ok for Women to talk about how sexy looking a man is but when men do the same thing hall out the noose cause someone needs to hang. Seriously we need to deal with the double standard and also the generalizing painting every man on the planet the same. We are not all the same, and I wish just once one of these high profile feminists would stand up in front of a camera and admit that not all men are bad. I know there's a social problem that needs to be dealt with and there are a minority of men that are very nasty to women but we must deal with it on a case by case basis instead of creating this narrative that if your male your somehow bad.
chicken thighs
well im going to stir the pot and claim the single leg on the far right (timeframe 0:01) is the best… so argument over i guess lmfao next video
4:44 Daily Mail's "Highly regarded journalism". I beg you're pardon?!!

I am amazed how much non-evolved apes trolls spit their stupidity, hate and ignorance through BBC youtube comment section. LOL.
