I wanted to seek out other things; I just didn't want to be a dolly bird, thank you very much.

Last month shoe retailer Clarks pulled a shockingly sexist girls' shoe range called "Dolly Bird" after being widely (and rightly) criticized on social media.

That was when I did my first baby-doll dresses: they were either an English dolly bird look or fairy-tale princess, done in iridescent sequined organza.

They wore T-shirts that said "tart" and "dolly bird" on them (a more PG, Live and Kicking–friendly version of Kathleen Hanna scrawling "slut" across her chest).

Deirdre as she appeared in the 1970s. Deirdre was played by actress Anne Kirkbride from 1972 to 2014. Originally named Deirdre Hunt, her character's earliest screen appearances were as "a young 17 year old 'dolly bird', someone that liked a bit of fun". The character made an initial one-off appearance in episode 1236 on 20 November that year.

Played by Sally Thomsett Jo, the dippy blonde dolly bird who is rubbish at cooking, is very keen on having parties in the flat with loud music, the opposite of the Ropers! She is always forgetting things and is always doing things wrong. Jo is often asked out by the men at the local pub and does not get on with Larry, like Chrissy, her best friend.

In his 2005 book, Inside the Tardis: The Worlds of Doctor Who, James Chapman described Jo as a reversion to "the screaming bimbo type" as a "well-meaning but accident prone dolly bird". He claims however, that Manning's "engaging personality and 'kooky' sex appeal... made her one of the most popular Doctor Who companions". The character remains remembered for this sex appeal, particularly in light of a naked photoshoot in the magazine Girl Illustrated with a Dalek prop which Chapman states "gave her an extra-diegetic significance in the popular history of Doctor Who". Lester Haines from the British technology news and opinion website, The Register, stated in light of a similar (clothed) photoshoot Kylie Minogue did in 2007 to promote her role as Astrid Peth that she was "unlikely to replace Katy Manning in veteran fans' affections".

In January 2019, Riley made a speech at a Westminster reception for the Holocaust Educational Trust and addressed what she described as the "hideous abuse" she had received. In Jewish News, Riley was quoted: > In the name of Labour I've been called a hypocrite, lying propagandist, a > tits-teeth-and-arse clothes horse dolly bird, weaponiser of anti-Semitism, > fascist, right-wing extremist, Nazi sympathiser, Twitter cancer, thick Tory, > brainwashed, an anti-Semite, white supremacist, hate preacher, Zio political > trollster, not a real Jew, a child bully, conspiracy theorist, a paedo- > protector minion puppet who my dead grandfather would be disgusted by. In February 2019, Riley and fellow campaigner Tracy Ann Oberman instructed a lawyer to take action against 70 individuals who had shared a critical blogpost for libel or harassment. In May 2019, a High Court judge ruled the post defamatory but in July 2020 Riley and Oberman dropped the libel action.
