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?
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.
so it's man's turn and he's fair game?
All of it started as a bit of fun, do you not think the first every flag girls/walk out girls/ring girls were dreamt up with the event organisers saying "wouldn't it be fun to have..."

Please explain to me where, anywhere, men are being repressed by women?

I'm simply saying you cannot use centuries of repression as a reason for what the flag girls etc do and naked butlers on loose women is repression / exploitation and a bit of fun.

I genuinely don’t think a lot of you have had a night in London / Kent / Essex over the last 20-odd years.
Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that the grid girls are repressed women - thy are chooisng to do what they do. No one forces them.
Historically though, women's role in society has been one of servitude and as second class to men. That has changed A LOT over the last 50 to 100 years, but its effects are still present. They do not have 100% equality to men yet, and that is why people are more sensitive to instances of objectification of women. That's why I brought it up. People always cite examples of men doing similar things to these grid girls and somehow make that justification for the women doing the same thing. It's not. A) personally, I don't like seeing anyone being put to use in that fashion, male or female, and b) when the buff geezer, who is being objectified at 'work' just the same as the grid girl, puts his shirt back on, he gets to go back to being a normal man and have all the advantages that come with having a penis in our current society. The grid girl gets objectified in her role as a grid girl and then go home and still has to put up with all the other shit that women do that men largely do not.
Nobody on here is arguing that is alright for men to to be treated one way and women another, but that cuts both ways. The fact is though, in this particular instance, it is largely women being oggled and men oggling.

Well I have to take my shirt off and put the dicky bow on another part of my body - it's very upsetting, especially in the summer when I have to water the patio plants and the neighbours can see me

Is one of those that spins round?
Only when I'm excited - it glows as well, although I'm told I should see my doctor about that
Does anyone know if Diet Coke are going to stop celebrating their topless hunk (Essential for a sugar-based drink) like they have for the last 20+ years? (No gurning ladies , it’s sexist)

I will resist the urge to say you can tell because she still has her stabilisers on

That seems to be the most sensible and rational approach to take.
If women are okay with it then who are men to have this moral outrage?
I think award this one to the lads.
Well done
Is it true they walk on topless, lead by a chain around their neck and then forced to fellate the scorer?
Probably SKY knowing my luck.
