It's Okay To #FreeTheNipple As Long As You've Got Saggies, Not Perkies
I joke that most of the people you see at the #freethenipples rallies are those whose nipples (and all the rest) you'd really rather they keep under wraps.
Feminists, meanwhile, are right behind any woman being all body proud -- providing her body isn't the sort considered hot by most men.
Accordingly, there's been a push in the UK from feminists to get rid of the "grid girls," hotties employed for promotional tasks by various sports. Like Formula One racing.
These women are earning a living -- perhaps sending themselves to school, paying their rent, supporting their children...but feminists want to put them out of a job because they aren't okay with them earning a living through their looks. Nuh-uh, not okay.
Brendan O'Neill has a piece about this in Penthouse/Australia -- "Fun Police Kill Off Grid Girls -- just another casualty in the war on harmless fun:
A curious thing happened online last week: young women were subjected to vile abuse and yet feminists didn't come to their defence.The women were branded "dumber than dogshit", "bimbos", "dangerous". And yet feminists didn't kick up a fuss. Despite having spent the past five years going on about how terrible it is to be insulted by oafish men online, feminists kept strangely schtum about this particular war of words on women.
How come? Why the sudden collapse in the sisterhood's stand against abuse? Because the women being targeted were the wrong kind of women.
They are immoral women, bad women, undeserving of support from the prim, well-bred women who make up much of modern-day feminism.
Yes, these were the grid girls and darts girls -- the glamorous models who bring sass to Formula 1 and darts by looking attractive and happy.
Or who used to, rather. They've now been unceremoniously dumped after the overlords of these sports decreed that they were "inappropriate".
...As British darts girl, Charlotte Wood said on TV: "I thought feminism was meant to help us... I feel like we're having our rights taken away."
Charlotte hit on something incredibly important: modern feminism, an increasingly posh, stiff, censorious affair, is not really about helping women. In fact, if any woman makes a choice feminists disagree with, they'll be thrown under the bus.
One more reason I call myself (and am) a humanist -- and not a feminist.
I'm for individual rights -- of all people, including those who don't have a vagina.
This includes the right of grid girls, sex workers, and all other workers to exchange whatever work they want for whatever money they want for it with other consenting adults.

The feminists seem to know what's better for everyone.
I don't dismiss the plight of the grid girls who lost their jobs, but even more distressing is that the powers-that-be capitulated to the pressure. This is giving the feminists power that they not only don't deserve but don't actually have.
They should have told the feminists, "Get fucked. Literally." Because the men who enjoy seeing the grid girls will still be there; their business would be quite safe. But instead, they capitulated to a bunch of self-important shitheads who don't truly have the power to harm them.
I could forgive them doing this if the feminists really could cause their business to go under. But I don't believe they do have that power. Tell the feminists to fuck off, let them pitch their collective and futile hissy fit, and continue about your business. It is much better for the feminists and the world at large to realize that feminists don't have the power they think they do.

Feminists want to assert control over what men should or shouldn't find sexy.
It's another aspect of feminist supremacism.

They did actually have the power. Maybe somebody ceded it to them, but that's how it works sometimes.

Actually, aging could be a big part of it.
Young, attractive women will always be accommodated. As they got older, however, women found society needed them less and desired their presence even less. Unattractive women found the same thing without aging. They were, for all intents and purposes, useless.
And, without voting or property rights, women had no other avenues but neighborhood crone. As men got older, they became senior officers and NCOs, CEOs and executive managers, master craftsmen, etc. For women, getting older meant no such esteem or leadership roles. Getting the vote, property rights, and career rights gave older women purpose and value in Western society.

Let's stick with Amy's famous line: this about gaining unearned power over others. In this case, over other women, and pretending to be able to speak out on behalf of all women. And as we see here in the USofA, if they don't toe the line, then they're not really women, even if they have a vajayjay.
People like that need to be kept away from the levers of any real power, because they will use that power for their own enjoyment.
Of course, now F1 and the dart promoters have decreased their employment costs. It may cause them to lose some eyeballs, but I suspect it will be a small net profit for them.

It’s interesting to see what’s happening in the female modeling profession. Transgender folks and obese women are being promoted over convetionally attractive young women.

As a guy I only paid attention to fashion to look at the hot chicks.
The clothes looked stupid, and quite frankly ugly most of the time.
Thanks to broadband internet I can look at all the hot chicks I want for free.

As to why more mass shooting in schools?
US Population 1840 017 Mil
US Population 1918 103 Mil +500%
US Population 2018 326 Mil +215%
US schools 1840 3.7 million 21% of population
US schools 1918 21 million 20% of population
US schools 2018 81 million 25% of population
The population is 20 times larger than 200 years ago, school age population is 22 times larger
You could have twenty times as many school shooing as two hundred years ago and it would still be less statistically

It has been theorized that much of the conventional modesty morality in society is not from men but from other women who don't like the competition. If a girl goes out in too short a skirt, the men look but it is other women (mostly older) who cluck-cluck or even make a rude comment. Feminists are even worse, because they don't seem to want any men to look at any women, even those dressed ok. They want to simply stop the whole sex-drive thing, as it displeases them (either because they are lesbians or ugly or both). All this crap about "the male gaze" is simply nuts. Why do women wear yoga pants all the time? To attract the male gaze. If it was for comfort, men would wear them too.

Too much feminist bashing these days. Most feminists just want equality...and yes, for everyone.
Those with penises already have it.
AnnieG at February 16, 2018 12:33 PM
You consider 96% of workplace deaths equal?
You consider suffering over 60% of domestic violence equal?
The majority of homelessness and poverty equal?
Feminists only want equality for all women in things where a fraction of a single percent of men rise to the top, never in areas where over 30% of men sink to the bottom

"Those with penises already have it."
That is the problem AnnieG. They don't have it. And claiming otherwise doesn't change that.

Women only make up less than 20% of Congress.
More women than men live in poverty.
Women still only earn .79 to a man's dollar.
10 million women per year are victims of domestic violence.
So...tell me again about how men have it worse than women.
AnnieG at February 16, 2018 1:33 PM
AnnieG: I think there is plenty of unfairness to go around. 99.9999% of men are not in Congress. 98% of workplace deaths are men. Men work more hours than women and pay all the child support. If a man loses his job, wife will often divorce him. He has no option to stay home. 60% of college students right now are women. The 79 cents on the dollar figure ignores that more women work part-time or choose jobs that don't interfere with family life (do you have kids? they take a lot of time and energy). Women don't and don't need to want the same things out of life as men do.

"According to the 2015 American Time Use Survey by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, among full-time employees, men worked 8.2 hours compared to women working 7.8 hours."
"And if you compare employed men and women (regardless of part-time work), employed men work an average of 42 minutes more per day than employed women. 42 minutes might not seem like much, but that is an extra 3.5 hours a week or 14 hours a month. I know I could get a lot more done with an extra day and a half a month of work."

That there is quality bovine scatology. Before you go off half clocked, search this here web site for uber driver compensation.
And all the other times that subject has come up.
I R A Darth Aggie at February 16, 2018 4:47 PM
I have a slightly different theory.
Yes, this is revenge of the Wallflowers, making everyone else miserable since they pulled a 'snakeeyes' in the genetic lottery.
But hot girls still exist and still insist on being beautiful, no matter how Feminists push 'healthy weights' (created by bon bons) and 'natural beauty' (i.e. horrible skin on display)
So their impulse is 'no woman can now look hot in service to men. WE have to own all hot women'. So a Milee Cyrus, a Beyoncé, a Hollywood starlet is NOT destroyed...as long as she is singing the Feminist Cant.
A grid girl, working for men's appreciation. A stripper. A Boxing Match girl...all must be destroyed as collaborators of the Patriarchy.

Women only make up less than 20% of Congress.
So? More women vote than men, and exit polls show men are more likely to vote for female candidates than women. Clean out your own bigots before blaming men for the free choices of women
More women than men live in poverty.
Yes they do, but only if you ignore the homeless population - are you saying homeless men dont suffer from poverty?
Women still only earn .79 to a man's dollar.
Yes they do, know what else sugartits? Women only work 66% of the HOURS men do to earn that 80%. Now I know math rapes feminists like you but .8/.66=1.21
This means for the same HOURS worked women earn $1.21 for every dollar a man does
10 million women per year are victims of domestic violence.
According to all research done on the subject of DV it turns out women commit more than 60% of all domestic violence
So...tell me again about how men have it worse than women.
Asked and answered Annie, but I bet you ignore it

when I was at law school, there was a lot of hissing because I wore cashmere, silk, high heels, long hair. apparently only butch hair cuts, work shirts, non-fitted blue jeans, work boots were acceptable. what a bunch of hypocrites!

I feel the same way about the Solstice Cyclists, although it's fun to watch them anyway (and some of them do have very nice bodies.) One thing that has changed over the years: more women cyclists. It used to be that the nudes were mainly dudes, but not so much anymore.
