Prue Leith, 85, takes a swipe at women claiming ‘they seem to think of nothing but themselves’ as she admits she thinks ‘feminism is confusing for boys’

Great British Bake Off’s Prue Leith has taken a swipe at women, claiming ‘they seem to think of nothing but themselves’.

The TV presenter, 85, known for her elaborate outfits on TV, admitted that she is ‘irritated’ by their ‘endless self-absorption’ as she described today’s female culture as ‘constant me, me, me’.

In an interview with the Sun, she slammed women for overly ‘pampering’ themselves with mᴀssage places, wellness centres and foot clinics.

She revealed that during a recent trip to Western Australia, she was left with a bad taste in her mouth over the amount of stores designed for ‘maintaining the mind, body and soul.’

‘I’m not saying we shouldn’t have these things, but so many women seem to think of nothing but themselves,’ she confessed to the publication.

There has been a boom in female self-care in Western cultures as a 2024 YouGov survey found that 85 percent of British women engage in self-care activities.

Around 61 per cent of women said it improves their mental and emotional well-being, while half say it helps to manage stress.

Prue also made the conclusion that she thinks ‘feminism is confusing for boys’.

She admitted: ‘While feminism has been brilliant for girls and women, I do feel that it’s had quite an unsettling effect on young men who don’t know what their roles are in life and don’t know what to think.’

‘Many aren’t toxic but they just feel ineffectual, but undeniably some are toxic – the ones who look upon Andrew Tate as a role model.’

Andrew Tate is often seen as an online symbol of toxic masculinity who influences misogynistic views that undermine gender equality and perpetuate harmful stereotypes about women.

She explained that a confident woman triggers one of two reactions among young men and boys.

Prue claimed that they are either ‘cowed and intimidated’ or ‘hate them’ and admitted that she thinks this is also linked to people caring too much about themselves.

The food expert then slammed the younger generation for who they idolize and confessed that she doesn’t think they ‘have the confidence and resilience earlier generations had’.

She partly blamed social media for what she perceives as a shift in behaviours and argued that many people are ‘miserable’ behind the screen.

Prue is a mother and grandmother to daughter Li-da’s two young children, Joseph, five, and Daisy, three, and son Danny’s three kids, Ben, 14, Charlie, 12, and nine-year-old Sophie.

During her glitzy career on TV, Prue has built a reputation for stepping out in very glamourous outfits that make a statement.

She has also been seen walking catwalks for some very luxury brands over the years, as just months ago, the culinary expert appeared on the catwalk at the Vin + Omi show at London Fashion Week.

But this wasn’t Prue’s first foray into fashion with Vin + Omi, as last year she was ‘Sєxed up’ in a figure-hugging black latex dress.
