Naturally, rather than simply put on a nice dress, she wrote an essay about how the media judges women based on how they look.
She also blames the fact she is fat for her inability to find clothes that fit.
Also... short hair. Tuth was right.
Proof that she does care what people think of her, and that feminism isn't about equality, but getting daddy men's approval. She could wear that dress all she wanted if she really didn't care what people think.
There is so much wrong in that sentence. 1) It's not trolling. It's standards. 2) Why is he dressed up, but the woman invited is not? 3) Seems like it isn't sexism but that no one cared about her non-famous +1.
This annoys me, because it actually is a part of your job as an entertainer to dress up at red carpet events. If you were a banker, you'd have to wear a suit everyday, no questions asked. If you're an artist, you get to go to cool parties and style yourself up in creative ways. Show some gratitude, bitch.

Such a fate befell comedian Sarah Millican at last year's BAFTA Awards, when the Internet viciously attacked her red carpet look for being "disastrous" and "nana"-like. At first, the cruel commentary stung. But rather than stew in silence, Millican has decided to call out her haters in a brilliant essay for Radio Times that pinpoints the absurdity of a woman, yet again, being attacked for her appearance at an event meant to celebrate her completely unrelated accomplishments.
"I'm sorry," Millican writes. "I thought I had been invited to such an illustrious event because I am good at my job."

She also comments on how she found her John Lewis dress:
"Fancy expensive designer shops are out for me as I'm a size 18, sometimes 20, and I therefore do not count as a woman to them."
Also... short hair. Tuth was right.

While the messages Millican received hurt ...
"It was like a pin to my excitable red balloon. Literally thousands of messages from people criticising my appearance. I was fat and ugly as per usual. ... I cried. I cried in the car."
That hurt quickly turned to righteous anger:
"Why does it matter so much what I was wearing? ... I felt wonderful in that dress. And surely that's all that counts."

Millican, too, points out the inherent sexism of her trolling: "My husband wasn't asked who he was wearing, which disappointed him. Mainly because he was dying to tell ANYONE he was wearing an Asda tux."
