YOU (South Africa)

IN BRIEF

-

7de Laan, why are you making Oubaas into a monster now that he’s no longer on the show? ELIZABETH, SMS Lion Mama (YOU, 2 October), you’re a brave, protective, loving mother. I’d have done the same. SYLVIE, PORT ELIZABETH And I say to you Lion Mama, halala. It’s about time men were put in their place. A woman isn’t there for them to abuse. Men, keep your hands and what’s between your legs to yourself. ALSO ABUSED, SMS I nearly sprained my ankle jumping up to change the channel when Trending SA came on. I pay my TV licence and have to nearly injure myself to block out the rubbish screened? I’d risk a broken leg to shut down WTF Tumi! WTF SABC, SMS Thanks, Marie Dixon, for your advice on breastfeed­ing (YOU Say, 19 October). I wasn’t able to breastfeed and put so much pressure on myself to persevere. I felt like a failure and the “Breast is best” label on most formula tins didn’t help. Thank you for making me feel better about the choice I made to use formula! GUILT-FREE, SMS I’ve yet to see a woman in torn or shredded jeans who wouldn’t have looked better – and more intelligen­t – in standard jeans. Are they all sheep who follow the flock, believing it will make them look cool? It doesn’t work. NOT CONVINCED, SMS Am I the only one who hates those offthe-shoulder tops women wear on TV? They look half-dressed. COVER UP, SMS
