Although I still don't think it's necessary I think with F1 it makes a little more sense given the audience is more varied.
Hmm I never thought about it that way, I suppose I don't watch much F1 or Darts though. I was looking towards the "role model" argument which isn't prevalent in Darts given it's audience, same with boxing and the ring girls both mainly adult orientated sports.not sure i'd agree.
with the darts you bascially get a girl with a figure hugging dress walking on with a player. she's there to 'glamourise' the event.
with F1 (and motorsports in general) the pit girls/ promo girls are often wearing specific branded clothing. in essence they are walking advertisements.
are they any different to say a perfume advert on the TV which uses semi-naked men & women to advertise a product?
This is where we disagree.
The world is currently gripped by a narrative that women are being abused by men in all corners of society and on a mass scale with any story being reported as some form of sexual assault or abuse.
Im sure there is a lot of truth in some claims and the perpetrators need to be brought to justice but we are at the point where men and women won't be able to be in the same room for fear of someone taking offence at something and a story emerging of alleged misbehaviour and for me, that's not right and it actually demeans real abuse and criminal activity.
It's almost become hysterical imo and given that and the importance of social media in life these days, especially commercially where a bad story can literally break a company, instead of common sense we are now seeing a stance were political correctness has gone mad and as i've said, i dont for a second think it will actually help real victims out there and instead, it panders to a few that want to use it as a vessel to further their own political aims.

What a load of shite, we can all sit in rooms together, swimming pools, bars offices. Don't be a pervy freak and you'll be fine, but if your gonna be intimidating or sexually harassing someone then thankfully your time might be up. Flirt away, read the signals, just don't be mr perv

Hylas and the Nymphs by Waterhouse, which has (oh, horror) naked women has now been removed from Manchester Art Gallery.
And some people approve of the new age of puritan repression.
Be careful what you wish for, #me too, brigade.
Excuse me?
