    Oh Dear, Ugly Protesters interfering with beautiful people!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13659661
    Protesters gathered outside the new Playboy club in London's Mayfair which opened last night after an absence of 30 years.

    In the past it was the playground for the rich and famous but now demonstrators argue it is sexist and outdated.

    because you know its wrong to be objectified, any girl who enjoys the effect their body can have on people is clearly sick and perverted. Clearly.

    Oh and it turns out that dressing in a provocative form means your a sex worker. The feminists said so.

    I guess they can't be so bothered with all the other strip / bars / club / naughty shops that have opened up since they last demonstrated for over this.

    don't be silly, a titty bar, where girls actually get nude is fine, just a club which has skimpy dressing waitresses is wrong.

    Good on them, liberating people by telling them what to do.

    I love this one



    Sexism against females is a thing of the past, it's only these Woman who are keeping it alive by making a mokery of the people who really did make a difference.

    I wonder what these two think of it?

    Re: Oh Dear, Ugly Protesters interfering with beautiful people!

    I must say that I can think of better things to do of an evening than paying throught the nose to be served drinks by some women in velvet leotards. You'd almost certainly get more tittilation from outfits worn by the paying female cutomers of your average suburban nightclub- and certainly more chance of an interesting conclusion to the evening .

    But, that said, I'll take these protesters seriously when I see them protesting outside a Chippendales performance.

    Edit: in fact sod it, as a man who has a lot of sympathy for feminist ideals, I think these protesters are attacking entirely the wrong targets. I don't watch much telly, but how often do adverts portay a man using detergent products to provide a safe home environment for his kids? How often do you see a man cooking up a tasty meal for his wife and family using convenience foods? And I'd go so far as to say that it's not at all uncommon for adverts to portray men, single or otherwise, as incompetent/slobbish/lazy, for apparently 'humourous' effect.

    That really is sexist. But I don't see campaigners for sexual equality protesting outside the ad agencies or the multinationals that employ them.
