. For all the people who suffer real abuse in our society (the elderly poor for example), someone being called a 'tidy babe' is not something we should be wringing our hands over.
The same mentality that leads to abuse of the weak, elderly and vulnerable also tolerates the idea of objectifying them in the same way thar 'tidy babe' objectifies a woman. So yes we should be calling it to account, it's not the phrase, it's the attitude and mindset.
