Beauty parade?

One daily paper has been castigated for publishing pictures of the newly promoted female cabinet members and commenting on their dress and hairstyles and so on. Whilst holding no particular brief for that paper, surely this is simply the sort of treatment any prominent women is likely to get?  The fact that they are MPs is neither here nor there - if you are female and in the news for whatever reason, the way you dress, the way you do your hair, the way you are made up is going to be scrutinised and commented on.  And I wouldn't mind betting that the majority of readers who take an interest in that sort of thing, are themselves women!
