Female politician caught topless in latest Zoom meeting Bungle

Another day, another bungled Zoom meeting.

The latest to fall prey to the popular video conferencing technology is 66-year-old Mexican politician Martha Lucia Micher, who mistakenly managed to show her breasts to colleagues after conceding she didn’t quite have the hang of it.

Micher was involved in a Zoom meeting with at least 15 other senators from the left-wing National Regeneration Movement political party when her colleagues got a little more than they bargained for.

Realising the error of her ways, Micher immediately apologised, saying: “In one part of the session, without realising and while the camera of my computer was on, I got changed showing my naked torso.

“I carried on participating in the session and, thanks to a call from senators Alejandro Armenta Mier and Ovidio Peralta Suarez, I realised my error.”

As these things do, images of Micher’s tech error soon went viral, with many commentators unfortunately posting unsavoury comments.

However, Micher – who’s also the president of the State Commission of Gender Equality – said she wasn’t ashamed of her body.

“I am not ashamed to have shown part of my intimacy by accident, because it is exactly the notion that a woman is ‘just her body’ that has allowed and fomented the objectification of women against which I have always fought,” she posted on social media in response to her detractors.

“I am a woman of 66 years of age who has breastfed four children, three of whom are today professional and responsible men, and I feel proud of my body for having nourished them.

“I am a woman who has fought for the left for almost 40 years, and who has occupied various public roles in my fervent commitment for the defence of human rights. I am a woman who is not ashamed of her body – I love it and I take care of it.”

Micher joins a list of bungled work meetings involving video conferencing tech. Who could forget the woman who accidentally left her laptop camera on during a loo break from a virtual work meeting, or the boss who turned herself into a spud and couldn’t figure out how to undo it?
