    So if a job pays well, it’s okay for the woman being paid to be demeaned and sexually harassed?

    I’m sure they’ll love hearing that in the C-suites.

      I’ve been to Hooters many times, in many places. I’ve never seen a waitress getting harassed. It’s usually a chill vibe, with (relatively) cheap food and beer for a sit down restaurant.

      Now I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but I’d like to think that due to the nature of it being a “breastaurant”, management is on top of that sort of thing with a quickness and those women don’t have to take any shit. Also, the harassment can happen anywhere, whether there’s skin showing or not. Maybe it’s naive of me though, idk.

      You think it’s demeaning for a waitress to show off her tits and ass in order to take more of your money?

      You really want to get in on it, just do yourself a Google search on “feminism and exotic dancing” and you’ll find a bunch of very mixed results, with very few feminists actually saying strip clubs or places like hooters shouldn’t exist, even if some of them don’t agree with women who choose to work at those places, they still support a woman doing the job if they choose to.

        You haven’t really explained why it isn’t demeaning to be sexually harassed for money.

          Assume you will be sexually harrased doing the job. Fine. Did you know you were likely to be sexually harassed in the job?

          If a hooters waitress complains about a customer it’s standard that hooters will ban the customer and that most customers don’t sexually harass the staff, but that doesn’t make the sexual harassment that happened just disappear. It just means the same person isn’t likely going to continue doing it.

          So the real question is “Why is it your decision to decide if someone else would exchange being sexually harassed in exchange for money?” Do you think the women there are stupid? Do you think they aren’t allowed to make that decision? Why are you deciding this on behalf of another person? Do you think you know better than they do? The bottom line is “my body my choice”. Stop being someone else’s keeper.

            I see, so sexually harassing people on the job is acceptable if they’re okay with it.

            No problem grabbing a secretary’s ass at the office if she likes it, right?

                Yes, I saw the part where you said sexual harassment was acceptable if the object of the harassment kept their mouth shut. I just thought that it would be better for the both of us if I pretended I didn’t.
