    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Which gives weight to my argument. I don't think she would be getting the response 'is she just an attention whore' if she was unattractive

    If she wants to stand up about something she feels strongly about then that's great, it's not less of a valid opinion because she was with a man, has a career in the spotlight or is attractive.
    I think a woman's attractiveness definitely has an effect on the way they are perceived and unfortunately some have to pick holes in very attractive strong women because they need to have a weakness

    Anyway I could go on but have a headache and an sounding like a raving feminist

    That may apply sometimes but it sure isn't "the norm". Many unattractive women have been, rightly or wrongly labeled attention whores in the past. Just look at "The Ham Beast" AKA Liz Shaw for instance.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Mmmm I hear ya, but I am talking same situation. I think if the situation was exactly the same but she wasn't as attractive I don't think there would be a thread to start with or some of the opinions on it

    Regardless of Liz Shaws looks she was always gonna be called an attention whore.

    That's kinda my point, regardless of her looks she is labeled so. Hard to say for sure for the "exact" situation.

    Hmmmm... So the reason I don't get the attention is because I am not attractive enough...

    Nah it will be cause your not on TV as well.

    Remember the lady she has proposed to is a dance instructor.

    From what i understand Alison came out a few Years ago.
    I am a bit conflicted really on one hand i say
    Good on her i hope she is happy.
    On the other hand I don't see why it needs to be News though.I can't say i give a hoot whether relationship status is.
    Or the all Blacks the warriors, the NZ netball team (unless its Temapara George/Clark mmm...)

    or any of the publicity hounds that fill our magazines and papers. I don't understand the interest in Sally Ridge or Charole Dawson etc.

    True, guess there were many occasions that led to people calling her that, so that conclusion was based on more than one situation, and dare I say it more accurate.

    I still think Alison's looks play a part in people's opinions in this situation

    You mean I'm getting my claws out?

    I'm on Allison's side, I think she is being unfairly picked on, could you not get that from what I said?
