For fun during the break, here's a short video for fans of the lovely Dr. DM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCveq7OwXxY
I found this video extremely offensive. It runs with an overtly sexual rock song tagging Dr. Demarte as "irresistible", features her attractiveness and not her brains, zooms in on specific body parts (e.g. a flash of thigh and a tightish blouse), and sexualizes her gestures. The offensiveness is enhanced by using slow-motion on moments that would otherwise be barely noticeable and by the way the court video is cut.
Dr. Demarte should be praised for her qualities as a brilliant young woman and an expert in her field. Highlighting her appearance is extremely demeaning and disrespectful (not to mention extraordinarily sexist), much like cat-calling a woman who is out there sharing her prodigious brains in the name of justice.
