An establishment like 'Hooters' is pathetic and wrong?

I think it pretty pathetic that you attacked Fabby for offering her opinion that you asked for.

BimboNo5 · 06/08/2011 11:56

Hahaha lying if wit was shit and all that Hmm..If people dont agree with the sexualising of women and porn then I cant no...thought that would be blatantly obvious

BimboNo5 · 06/08/2011 11:57

I 'attacked' Fabby for implying anyone who is bothered about anything that doesn't bother her has a shit life.

I'm pulling you up about what you say to Squeakytoy. This kind of thing always gets nasty with 'porn apologist' -v- 'ugly, jealous whatever'.

So why start the thread Bimbo? What was your motivation? You feel the way you do, fine. Anybody who disagrees with your viewpoint is a 'porn apologist'? I saw your views on the earlier bf thread... your choice of userid says much. You're no advocate of womens' rights. Indeed, if wit was shit you would be in desperate need of some Sennacot.

Well, I wouldn't employ unsightly people in a customer facing role. And indeed I don't. If you come to my hotel, you will only find people on the bar, serving in the restaurants, behind the reception desk etc whom are pleasing on the eye. Image is important.

But hooters don't only employ women. Their workforce is 32% male.

JeelyPiece · 06/08/2011 12:17

The men are the ones cooking the food though yes? Not leaning suggestively over the table jiggling their pectorals at the customers?

squeakytoy · 06/08/2011 12:31

Squeaky is a porn apologist though, as she admitted to in several threads.

I have NEVER admitted to being a "porn apologist" actually. I just dont have any hang ups about porn. Nor do I think anyone who looks at porn is a pervert, or every adult woman who chooses to work in the (legal) porn industry is being exploited.

ChaoticAngeltheInnocentOne · 06/08/2011 12:32

To object to places like Hooters does not make you a prude Hmm

SquidgyBiscuits · 06/08/2011 12:35

No, actually. Men are quite often employed as hosts and to undertake marketing for the places. I had one such man give me a leaflet and tell me all about the place when I was in an airport.

SiamoFottuti · 06/08/2011 12:35

Bet the men are the pimps managers though.

JeelyPiece · 06/08/2011 12:37

Why are none of the waiting staff male Squidgy?

SquidgyBiscuits · 06/08/2011 12:39

Because the company choose to employ female waitresses.

I don't think men would look too great in the uniform.

Whatmeworry · 06/08/2011 13:10

Bah humbug to any intolerance - racists, sexists, boobists....

SiamoFottuti · 06/08/2011 13:11

And why is that Squidgy? Because they are profiting from objectifying womens bodies.

extremepie · 06/08/2011 17:37

I don't really understand what all the fuss is about to be honest!

If you don't like it, don't go there!

SiamoFottuti · 06/08/2011 17:45

one could say the same for anything. Hmm Does anything go in your world, and if people don't like it they should just avoid it?

EssentialFattyAcid · 06/08/2011 18:47

extremepie do you have a daughter by any chance?

worraliberty · 06/08/2011 19:04

I don't see the fuss

Some men like to be served by scantilly clad pretty women showing off their figures....and some pretty women like to earn a living showing their figures off.

As long as they're all happy, everyone's winner Smile

flyingspaghettimonster · 06/08/2011 19:10

I quite like Hooters - wouldn't take the kids there I guess, but we go sometimes, the food is okay and many of the girls are paying their way through law and med school etc...

TiggyD · 06/08/2011 19:56

There are other places you can go to to see sexy women and their boobs in saucy uniforms. Crossings near schools, Tesco checkouts, etc.

What squeaky said about porn.

I have no issue with porn. Nor strip clubs. Nor Hooters. If it wasn't for job perhaps I would go and do something like that for the extra cash.

catgirl1976 · 06/08/2011 20:16

Could some one tell me what a porn apologist is? Or why it needs an apology in the first place?

Pan · 06/08/2011 20:18

I am with the OP on this.

Hooters sounds like a place that sends teenage boys into raptures, because they are daft and clueless. You'd hope/think adults would view the world a bit better.
