A leading critic was actress Siobhan Bryn. She wrote: “This is unbelievably sexist. Women’s studies is not fashion and putting on a lunch.” She said the course looked like it was from the 1950’s. Another critic said it was very “offensive and disrespectful”. The school has now removed the subjects. A spokesman said: “It looks like we’re supporting stereotyping girls….We want [our kids] to have a positive image and build self-esteem,…to analyze things critically.”
