It isn’t just the important question of skirt length for a female prime minister (Letters, 7 November) that is of national concern. What does a woman of state do about cleavage? I speak not as a geologist thinking about cleavage in slates: but the question of how bosoms and cleavage are “dressed” (disguised) in the largely male world of international politics.
Revelations of décolletage, cleavage, a sneak of ample breasts, have caught out other former home secretaries. Such glimpses of femininity in our prime minister should surely be matched by open-necked shirts showing a tantalising glimpse of hairy chests from international men of state. Let’s see some equality.
