Canadian politicians must not look sexy

We read:
"She’s the first Canadian Tamil MP and the standard bearer for young women in a male dominated political culture.

But rising member of Parliament, Rathika Sitsabaiesan, 29, is at the centre of an embarrassing Photoshop controversy -- after authorities apparently deemed her cleavage (pictured left) too hot to handle.



According to political blog Contrarian, an enterprising reader performed an image search for Sitsabaiesan and came across the thumbnail. But when the reader clicked through to Sitsabaiesan’s official Parliamentary profile, he found a modified version of the headshot, which had been retouched to edit out her feminine curves.

Canada’s conservative politicos apparently decided that the photo was inappropriate for a workplace as formal as Parliament.

I have been to Canada a couple of times and I must say that in general they did seem rather uptight compared with Australians. We have had female politicians breastfeeding in Australian parliaments. I wonder how Canadians would deal with that? Would they all faint away?

I wouldn't mind handling them. She's pretty hot.

I'll bet those same politicians wouldn't mind looking at a picture of a male with a huge bulge in his trousers.

The religious or Puritan heritage -being made to feel scared or intimidated or nervous because of seeing in public mere parts of the human body. How pathetic and puerile!

They've got MPD. I bet they would have been perfectly okay with her snogging a female staffer.

A pretty young woman with a fairly tame picture - nothing to be ashamed of.
