Questions Corinne was asked about the photos she took for the lingerie company Triumph made her especially angry • "This question is not clear to me, should I ask for permission?"
TV presenter Corinne Gideon was asked by surfers what her husband and parents thought about her being photographed for a lingerie campaign, and Gideon answered that today (Monday) in a detailed post.
As you may recall, yesterday pictures of Gideon were published in a special campaign she did for the "Triumph" company three months after the birth of her daughter Alona.

"The year is 2021, and a woman being photographed for a lingerie campaign is still being asked what her husband thinks of it, and especially what her husband's anxious parents think of it," Gideon wrote to her followers.
"This question is not at all clear to me. If his parents were secular then was that okay? When you go to a job interview you ask for permission from your hotties? It's my job, to be photographed. It was also my job when I met Hili and his amazing parents, who also happen to Haredim, "she added.

"Am I supposed to change because I got married? To align with someone else's worldview? Every woman's right to make the choices in her life, whether it's dressing modestly or being photographed in lingerie. Whether it's being a housewife or it's making a career. It's. Feminism, freedom of choice. A woman should not be defined by her husband, and certainly not by his parents. What is the difference between that and a man who tells his wife not to wear a strapless dress? There is no difference. "As an entity that needs to please its environment," Gideon wrote painfully.
"Where is my independence to make decisions for myself? If there is one thing I want to convey to my daughter it is that she will not need anyone's approval for anything she wants to do. The truth is that this campaign did not come up at all in my conversations with Hili's parents. "It's comfortable for them, it's fine. They will never interfere with me like I will never interfere with them. All the beauty is to contain the different and the way I respect them, that's how they respect me," she concluded.
