[Other Sport] Darts girls face axe

Hamilton said:

Bit busy today, but in short I'd say this, the use of women to sell has huge detrimental effects on the way women view themselves and the way men view women.

Most models weigh an average of 23 percent less than a typical woman. Twenty years ago, this difference was a mere 8 percent.
Problems with eating disorders have increased over 400 percent since the year 1970.
Only 5 percent of women actually fit the current body type popularly portrayed in advertising today.
69 percent of girls concurred that models found in magazines had a major influence on their concept of what a perfect body shape should look like.

All that puts pressure on young girls and leads to self-esteem issues which in turn affects confidence and role in society.

There is other data available that illustrates the effects that the use of women in advertising, sales and corporate events has on men - especially shaping views at an early age.

There's equally data to show that ongoing use of false body types - male and female - also has an impact on young boys as well.

Body image has been portrayed in art throughout the ages, but it's only in the last 100 years that there has been such an acceleration of the use of body image to sell. That's why it's bought into sharper focus as an issue.

Oh please.

We are living in dreamland if we think the poor male image has been used and abused as much as the female image has down the years.

I think that you’re way off the mark. In 100 years time, in the Islamic State Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, women will be second class citizens.

That wouldn't be that hard given how obese today's societies have become. Probably 23% fatter than 20 years ago.




So it's women's magazines and advertising doing all of this then. If girls are having self esteem issues it's going to be linked mostly to female driven media, not male.



It's the same as it's always been. We like the hot ones over the ugly ones. That's how nature works. Whole species of animals work around the concept.




What's a false body type? Or do you mean fit people who work out v fat people?

A false body type would be a surgical, or steroid altered appearance plus photoshopped thigh gaps and six packs.

So then you'd have to be thick as **** to think that's what other people expect you to look like. Given the vast majority don't expect anyone to look like that.

It's funny that if you ask most blokes they'll say they prefer women to wear as little make up as possible suggesting they prefer the more natural look. Yet women still cake the shit on regardless.

That's all down to women.

I agree, cucks and snowflakes too innit!

If half naked women parading around at the darts is now a problem and the darts people dont want them then we are well and truly f*cked as a society. I suppose if they are not there though than can be cleaning up the pub or something else like that, so maybe it’s not all bad.

We’ve been doing this for years and it’s never caused any problems before, stupid women don’t know how good they have got it!

Same goes for ridiculous high heels. Men don't care about them, men think they are impractical and uncomfortable, thus pointless.

That's all down to women.

Can't stand waking up next to a woman who gets up out of bed and her face imprint is still on the pillow.

While some slightly Neanderthal types and upper class oafs on here will try to paint a picture of anyone who has no interest in ogling women at sporting events or touching them up at parties as snowflakes who need to get a grip, the men in my life I have admired the most and regard as "real men", my father, grandfathers, uncles and one or two bosses and teachers never had any desire to leer over women and treated them with nothing but respect. That's going back to the 1920's.. True men. Gentleman. Sporting men. Not the faux building site twonks on here who wouldn't have the first clue about being a true man.
