Amazed that no-one has kicked up a fuss about the catwalk industry. It is sexist and degrading and quite frankly, way outdated.

Personally I think they should so there's something for everyone, then maybe we can start getting away from the ridiculous idea that any form of objectification is bad.

I think the point is that the groundswell of discontent concerning scantily clad ladies no longer being present is contained to a small number of folk. It is a bit dated- even if the women earn good money for it.
It could be something that some folk are wishing would remain but signing a petition about it pushes it to as slightly desperate level.

There are a huge number of people making money from their looks or physiques or, as some call it, doing a job. Should they all stop too?
Would never happen in Japan.....

That's twice you've accused women on here being offended for them. You don't know much about women, do you? What makes you think that Edna and I are offended for them? Is it because we don't agree with you, and you haven't got anything more intelligent to add?

You spoke to these girls have you?
I suppose you feel the same way about Boxing ring girls? (Next to go?). I know several ring girls, who certainly are not doing it for the money. They enjoy it.

It depends on what job. Sports people have to have good physiques.
If you are not offended, why are you arguing?
It's not sexist and you know it! It is PC gone bloody mad. ps I know loads about women...I have had enough practice (if you know what I mean)

The thing is, I bet more people in this country would actually sign a petition about demanding this 'outrage' be reversed, than sign a petition about this country losing The British Grand Prix in 2 years time.

I suppose those hussies that sell me their records by flaunting their half clothed bodies will now stop? It's a disgrace!

Who honestly gives a shit whether it's banned. It doesn't bring anything additional to the sport, it's not integral to the race.

There, right there, is a sexist attitude. Why are you arguing
It's an opinion.
See Edna's signature for clarification.

Totally not sexist, the darts girls actually enjoy their (ex) jobs, except they have now lost their jobs, equal opportunity, equal redundancy and all that.
I can't see anything sexist about my comment or am I sexist for disagreeing with a woman....Now if that is the case I would be guilty about 10 times a day!
Ah you haven't. Didn't think so.
I wouldn't stop her, no. But sexism is rife in society, even low level stuff like this and I believe that whilst freedom of choice is generally a good thing, the idea that women are paraded routinely as objects of desire at a sports event goes a small way to perpetuate this status quo. Therefore on balance, I think society is better served by eliminating these sexist traits.
If you want to see women scantily clad doing something that they want to do, go to a titty bar. I have no objections to that at all because that way, my impressionable daughter doesn't have it projected into her life through television.
