If they had simply made them unidentifiable by blurring their faces, they could defend their actions (and save the rest of us from seeing that).

There must’ve been better looking cougars in there!

Who has cougar nightmares? It is either older men, or younger women. They are trying to make these attractive women into monsters that no man would want, a comforting thought. Tough nuts, I say.

As for those women, the case sounds silly until you realize this video was ‘published’ and affected their reputations and so self-image and self-confidence, which clearly was the aim… and by extension other such women, who should just ‘clear off, cut their hair, get fat, take Prozac, commit suicide and die’.

They were not asked to be filmed for that program and did not give permission. They were stigmatized and humiliated when there was no reason to be whether they were looking to meet someone attractive or not.

As such they were socially victimized, and they are private citizens, not celebrities. Those women did not need to explain or apologize for why they were there. You’d think one were talking about child molesters or Grendel’s mother. It makes me laugh. It’s very ugly sexism. Women live a long time now, longer than men. Many have education and money. They can bloody well choose an attractive mate they find desirable.
