I was fine listening to an impassioned talk concerning war-torn countries and the plight of women until she mentioned donning short-shorts to ’snare’ a man- that’s when she lost me. Women don’t have to wear revealing clothes to entrap men or to achieve any other aim in life. I’m not sure I’d want young women following someone who preaches those values, publicly.
