Just a demonstration of how it’s still socially acceptable to casually denigrate, mock, and demean the bodies and sexuality of old people , women who fail to meet a specific standard of beauty (or grow out of it), and people who are considered unattractive for whatever reason.

Because those people should either not have bodies or sexuality or at least hide it even if it’s relevant to a filmed story.

Based on the number of times Mirran has gotten her kit off in movies, I would have thought it was a requirement in her contract she _insisted_ on. Pity - her pleasure pillows are quite nice.
