British MP under fire for "inappropriate" attire responds hilariously on Twitter

Should a person’s position at their job dictate their fashion choices? Does having a position of power hold them to a different standard in terms of how they’re expected to dress?Former soap opera star-turned-British MP, Tracy Brabin, became a target for relentless social media trolls after she was criticized for wearing an off-the-shoulder top during a BBC debate on Monday.One Twitter user questioned the appropriateness of her outfit in Parliament, which was followed by a heap of tweets spouting similar sentiments. The abuse continued as Tracy was called "unprofessional" and accused of stirring up controversy for attention.She confronted the public via Twitter where she wrote:“Hello. Sorry I don’t have time to reply to all of you commenting on this but I can confirm I’m not … a slag; hungover; a tart; about to breastfeed; a slapper; drunk; just been banged over a wheelie bin,” she retorted. “Who knew people could get so emotional over a shoulder?”[video_embed id= '5644790107001']RELATED: Would you hire someone with a throat tattoo?[/video_embed]Her nonchalant, unfiltered response generated widespread support, receiving over 100,000 likes. Supporters such as @jojjojoelle, expressed her support by commenting “Dear God. Boris and his band of bigots have plunged this country further into austerity, but yes, let’s all get indignant about a woman’s shoulder”.Tracy’s shoulder slip propelled her into becoming a fashion trendsetter as the $45 ASOS dress is reportedly selling out quickly. Although there is no official dress code for parliament, it does advise MPs to dress in clothing that “might ordinarily be worn for a fairly formal business transaction.”Tracy’s outfit and the public’s judgmental reactions is a catalyst for further conversations on sexism and the challenges young women face on an everyday basis.[video_embed id= '6129848288001']BEFORE YOU GO: Madonna called Canada boring and Canadians aren’t impressed[/video_embed]
