Many women in the media are portrayed just by their bodies, as it is seen as the only way to 'get mens attention', however many would see this article and get the impression that Emily is a stereotypical 'whore/tart' who only cares about showing off body. There is a double standard where it is seen as socially expectable for men to show off their bodies without it being seen negatively and is actually encouraged by many and a regular occurrence in the media. The article does not focus on anything else other than the look of her body and almost mocks the fact she is embracing her body by emphasising the fact that 'she's certainly showing off a lot'. This is a recurring problem in the media where women are hated for doing the same as men, for example, a man could post a topless picture and no one would bat an eye and it would be accepted in the media with people praising his body, however if a woman were to do the same or even with more clothing on, they would be seen as 'slutty' and 'an embarrassment' irregardless of the fact its exactly the same concept.
