I think this insistence that these women should develop a “talent” that suits the feminists is not acceptable
This misses the point entirely. We don't want all women to be F1 racing drivers, or engineers...just the opportunity.
If the roles are constantly men drive, and women look pretty; women that do want to be in the man's world, aren't likely to succeed.
A woman who is born unattractive by society's standards - but is clever - will use her talents accordingly.
A woman who is born beautiful by society's standards (whether she is clever or not) can choose to use her body as her talent.
Feminists have NO ISSUE with this.
To explain it another way. If all the women were fat, over forty, wearing normal clothes (with a F1 logo somewhere obviously), and smiled sweetly, walked the drivers to their cars, held umbrellas, clapped them when they won etc - THIS WOULD STILL BE SEXIST.
It doesn't matter a jot that these girls are beautiful and young, it is not a jealousy issue, and it isn't a 'women should be using their brains instead' issue.
It is about women serving men. Everywhere. Whether darts walk on girls, f1 grid girls, tour de france podium girls. Men do sport, women look pretty.
This sends out a very bad message, and is the reason women are treated so shit and like objects to be yelled at , wolf whistled, grabbed, harassed and more.
Now. If there are 100 grid girls at each race, and their role (to f1) is imperative - then split the gender - 50 men and 50 women.
THAT would be fair. THAT would redress the awful imbalance.
But no. F1 want to erase the girls. Blame the feminists, and not learn.
