    He's right.

    Yeah, he's quite the rapier wit. :rolleyes:

    How very dare a woman in the public lack vanity!

    Oh please, women in the public eye have their appearance commented upon FAR more than men.

    Oh yes, they do for sure.

    That's because men almost always wear suits when doing something important.

    You women (I assume you are a woman) have no such sartorial homogeneity. You wear reds, purples, oranges, pinks, canary yellows and alexanderite blues. You wear cotton, linen, silk, wool, leather...any shape or any cut. Of course people will comment on that.

    You can't really say much about a suit, but rest assured that if political men dressed in anything but black or grey suits, this would be commented upon.

    In fact, imagine the uproar if women were to be banned from wearing pink shirts in the Oireachtas chambers.

    I'm no fashion guru, but does Angela Merkel get those awful clothes from a skip, I know she's a bit of a heifer, but she could at least make an effort to get a few jackets that would fit her.
    Perhaps a few fashion tips from that classy Christine Legarde would help.

    Was wondering where the title was going

    Angela Merkel and Fashion... total contradiction in terms!

    It's not just that, we're not just talking about clothes here. Angela Merkel's sexual attractiveness or lack thereof was what Berlusconi picked on because the only filter through which he views women, or so it seems.

    What's the title of this thread?

    It's Angela Merkel & Fashion

    The OP quite rightly pointed out that Angela Merkel is no Claudia Schiffer; however it's clear that the crux of the thread is on her clothes. Trying to make it about her body is a strawman argument. Male politicians' clothes are generally the equal to one another (one exception would be David Cameron perhaps, who is a particularly smart dresser), and just because womens' are so varied, does not mean that this thread is anti - women.

    Angela Merkel dresses terribly, this is pretty widely accepted I think.

    Yup and someone brought up the Berlusconi quote. Topics develop and the subject broadens, ya know?

    And my point is "So?". The thread is about Angela Merkel and her fashion sense. Can it not be discussed in the thread that it doesn't really matter what her fashion sense is? Or does the discussion have to stringently concur with the OP and not muse more widely on the subject?

    Anyway, I'm done with this thread. You get the last word. YAY! \o/

    Yeah but that's not really that important.

    Merkel is free to call Burlusconi an unfuckable lard ass if she wants, too.

    Would that make her anti-men? No.
    Would that mean, to use your words "the only filter through which (s)he views (men)" is how sexually sexual attractive they are? No.

    Because an unfuckable lard ass (as poor a choice of words as this is) isn't someone who has no value as a human being. Maybe they have other strengths that don't include their looks.
