Sports activity for women - Burlesque?!

This has really pissed me off.

Lets get women into sport by er... Getting them to discover their "sultry side" and pander to porn-led notions of attractiveness. I'm so annoyed.

I think you can pole dance and enjoy Burlesque and wear thongs with glittery nipple covers as long as no man pays you to do it. Because then you are being exploited and victimised.
Or something.

Some of those classes are open to 14 year olds Shock

On what planet is that appropriate?

Widow I LOVE that. It's even better than this

Can't see anything offpissing in it to be honest. But a good opportunity to link to this again.

You could see why it may 'piss you off' but it seems to be privately funded and no drain on a public purse. It may be women's choices to do this, and it would appear that you simply want to tell other women what they and shouldn't be doing with their time and cash. There's probably other opportunities for you to that but FWR/Chat isn't one of them. Hopefully.

Why has it pissed you off? There are loads of activities listed (as loadsof said, it doesn't mention 'sport' on the burlesque page.) What's wrong with burlesque?

If it were in a category labelled "Sports for women" and it were the only thing listed, while the men's side included various sporting activities, I would understand, but that doesn't seem to be the case...

Nor, on a second reading, was "sultry" used either. These things seem to be in your head.

Loadsofthingstodo · 08/03/2014 15:08

The word 'sports' wasn't mentioned at all.
