pc gone mad, not that there a huge part of either but the women doing it hardly have a gun to there head in theory your actually putting women out of proper work and into more seedy work.
Only if you think women can only do one kind of job...
a good looking girl that wants to do modelling, thats what most pr girls are, they cant earn the money doing sports appearances so will now do glamour modelling.
do you seriously think hazel o sullivan would do that work if she didn't want to.
classic example of people being offended on behalf of others, i would put quite good money on that every single walk on girl from the pdc wanted to do the work.
Or maybe she'll get a job in an office, or become a police woman or go to Uni. Attractive women have prospects beyond grid girl or glamour modelling.

police officer is the correct term, and she probably earns 5 times more than that profession sadly.

why don't we concentrate on women being stoned for looking at another man, or being MADE to cover there whole body because of some weird ruling in saudi arabia. a lot bigger things to worry about in the world but everything's Theresa may's fault and jeremy corbyn is the second coming.

It's difficult when the world is changing and you can't understand why isn't it?

I'll stick my neck out here and predict that these decsions have absolutely nothing to do with Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn. That seems pretty clear, but I haven't got a massive chip on my shoulder blocking my view.

Was meant more of a wind up as in there’s a lot more to worry about in the world imo.
I didn’t use foul language I just gave my opinion
Music videos are probably more included to be watched by children than the darts at ally pally or f1

An excellent post.
Very rich coming from 2 of the posters who are constantly bleating about world issues
Find it all a bit pathetic but sadly it’s the way things are going.
Of course the use of ‘glamour girls’ are not necessary to any sporting occasion. But then again nor are MC’s, music, fireworks, mascots, dancers, hospitality, food and drinks, commentators and all other aspects that add to ‘the package’, whether that’s attending ot or watching at home.
We are heading for an age of fear and blandness. Let’s hope equality really is applied. I look forward to watching a prime time family entertainment programme like Take Me Out where a bloke doesn’t have to take his shirt off for 30 women to ogle and pass comment on his body. Or Loose Women where they have the butlers in the buff on.

But that’s all a bit of harmless fun, isn’t it?
It's very shit the other way round too, AFKA. The problem is, however, more widespread when it comes to women - and it's also worth considering men would much more easily be able to put a stop to any sexist overtures than women (physical power etc).
This is why misogyny is IMO worse - women don't feel powerful enough, in a sort of primal sense, to be able to stop it. It's changing, though, and that can only be a good thing.

Pretty much just America for me these days, and that's a domestic issue for me.
I just find the "but what about what the big scary Muslims are doing?!?" argument tiresome and disingenuous. You could instead look at domestic violence in the UK, which kills on average around 100 women per year if you want something to contrast with. You can impact this issue, you can lobby your politicians and vote for those who are going to tackle this problem if you are genuinely concerned about violence against women. http://www.lwa.org.uk/understanding-abuse/statistics.htm
Also, for what it's worth, I don't really care one way or the other on this. I think there's a good argument to be made that women should be allowed to choose their own jobs, and also that exploitation is something that needs to be stamped out. This is realllllly far down the list of problems of inequality.

Ooh - you've got a bite here!
Yeah you know what? I care deeply about those issues, as does LITERALLY EVERY OTHER FEMINIST I know. But it's easier to effect change on issues closer to home.
It's almost as if you're implying I can't care about more than one thing at once. Fuck sake.

There is a difference though isn't there? One, its not men who have been repressed for centuries. Two, those shows are clearly doing it as 'a bit of fun'. With the grid girls stuff, I'm not so sure is that harmless - there's no joke, or irony there, they are simply being put there for people to look at. It's a subtle distinction, maybe, but I think an important one to make when trying to understand the ways in which women are treated both fairly and unfairly.
Comments
I welcome the flags for this post.
*Dear those that take offence easily. This is clearly a joke. Feminists are never happy.
Weather girls, add them to the list. You could go on forever.
They see the men playing the sport and the women stood in their underwear looking pretty.
I assumed the same of "weather girls".
