Emma criticizes Barkha Dutt for her unprofessional article on IPL cheerleaders.
It just doesn’t strike you, does it, that you are sitting out there on this high pedestal of yours, strong in the belief that you are in an “honourable” profession that it seems totally okay for you to pass judgement on other professions that you don’t necessarily approve of? How professional is that? Isn’t it below someone to be purely judged on what you see on the outside? You see a few dances (which at the risk of over-emphasising, let me say, is their job) and you decide they are nothing but “trash”, “faceless bimbettes”; that they have nothing else to recommend for themselves apart from being “steamy, sexy and sultry”.

However ridiculous “dance” they may be doing in “sporty” clothes, you can’t ban the cheerleaders. But Barkha has every right to berate their commodification in her personal capacity.
