RIP Sarah Everard, who went missing from Brixton in March 2021

It's astounding. Just looking narrowly at protected characteristics under equality legislation, and leaving morality and everything else out of the argument for a moment, how can eg religion be such an aggravating factor in cases where sex (f/m) isn't? For Johnson to say no it'd make work for the police, fucking beggars belief.
Misogyny and religion very often go hand in hand. For centuries the Catholic Church blamed women (and the devil too natch) for the existence of sin in the world. So if you attack misogyny you should attack most traditional religions. That will never happen while we live in a non-secular state, where the head of state is appointed by God.

Gpwm :thumbs:
 
Christianity was mysogynistic right from the get go. The story of Adam & Eve is a nasty story
I went to an interesting lecture once which traced the artistic representations of the Adam and Eve story throughout the ages, and how the emphasis on the tempter had shifted from the serpent to Eve. The final painting (17th century maybe) had Eve's face superimposed on the serpent's body.

He said no to it because he doesn’t want to be done for it himself. He is 100% guilty of it himself. Even as a serving PM, which presumably protects him for the time being, he’d open himself for all kinds of litigation.
 
Did this crossed any one's radar.
When I saw the headline in my fb, I thought it was India or some place.
Nope, in the good old US of A.

I have not read any articles on this. Just seeing the headlines makes me feel sick.




:mad:

Do you have any other links? This is unavailable here. Thanks.

The entire issue really upsets me, but since you asked so nicely - here is a cnn one.


If this one doesn't work for you, I would suggest googling some of the key words.

Words fail me. The poor woman, to have not only to go through that ordeal, but to have no one go to her. And to record it…
 
Again, this thread seems to be the place where exploitation of females is common.

This is the new outfit that the Hooters restaurant chain wants their waitresses to wear.

After this hit the social media circuit, the company is now saying that it is preferable but not mandatory.

Disgusting!!!!
 
I don't think we have Hooters in the UK, but isn't it the whole concept about leering at half-dressed waitresses?

There's one in Nottingham which I believe is the only one in the whole UK, I've never been but my Son-in-Law went three or four years ago on a office night out. He reported that the food is good but not exceptional and no better than many other places in the city so pretty much the main reason for anyone to go is the scantily clad waitresses. When Mrs Q gave him the meaningful stare over the top of her glasses, he insisted that our eldest daughter (his wife) was more attractive than any of them.
I think he felt a little embarrassed about it tbh. Apparently though they now do Deliveroo which seems to me to undermine their entire business model.
 
I went to a Hooters in the US with a group of friends. It wasn’t very good, my mate was convinced he could get the number of the waitress as she was flirting and chatting with him :rolleyes:

If I want fast food, sports and beers, I’d go for Buffalo Wild Wings anyway which I’ve always enjoyed.

It’s a shame the sports bar concept doesn’t work in the UK as well as it does over there, largely as only football really has tribal followings (too tribal that’s the problem as seen with the violence at Wembley this year) and there’s a bit of a gap in the summer offseason, whereas the US has the big 4 sports which cover all the seasons.
 
Someone suggested they class the waitresses as actresses to get around the law, but I don't know if that's true or not.

I will try to remember not to get you started on Speedos.

One of the clothes chains does similar - Classes its staff as "models" and has things like shorts and swimsuit/beachwear days.
 
Go check out the thread when it was announced they were opening a branch in Cardiff
That thread did at least have this exchange:

To be honest I've changed my opinion on Hooters.

It should be banned.

£8.50 for 10 wings according to their website. They're taking the piss.

I've found a place nearby that does a massive assortment of different flavoured wings (nutty, oats, peri peri, whisky, BBQ, jerk) with 3 x fries and a bottle of coke for £14 that's much better value. They don't have expensive waitresses pushing up the costs I guess.

Hooters waiters earn more than a shift manager at Macdonald's according to a quick Google search. Not including tips. Fuck that. I'd rather pay less and tip the ubereats driver.

Oh fuck off you absolute cunt. I would literally kick your head in if you were stood right next to me.
Go Edie !
