To be honest .... haven't read much about it .... is it feminists making the decisions or is it male bosses trying to be PC ?
Can't see feminists being involved in the management decisions made by darts or F1

The bosses obvioulsy make the decisions, but the media attention that is drawn from these women protesting has to to bee more than partly responsible.
I do have strong feeling about powerful men using intimidation/power to abuse young females but I think that is a completely different issue altogether & somehow the media have managed confuse the two
If f1 or even darts had just said they are being scrapped as they are an uneccessary expense, i doubt anyone would have battered an eye.
Hi again, its the mu fan from Stoke
I used to work in community safety and did a bit of work with the prostitution unit. And what I found is that for every 1 girl being pimped there were many more going the pimping
The types who would be at events were very much in control and far from victims
I also used to do a bit of fighting back in the day, before mma really kicked off, but the semi clad girls earnt more than most of the fighters
fan, thinks he's Erroll Brown trying to woo Minxy.
I'm more warm chocolate than hot chocolate pal
Been married that long wouldn't know what to do now

. No point now if the lasses are gone

I used to work in the F1 travelling circus and I don’t think that the grid girls added anything to the spectacle. There are far more female celebrities walking about in the lead up to race and to be honest most of them are more attractive and are frequently interviewed for TV. Perhaps if the grid girls wore the national costume of the country it might have a purpose, but that rarely happened. It doesn’t bother me if they are there or not. It bothers me that people up in arms that the girls are losing their jobs. They are promo girls who get employed for just one race a year. They will probably find other work to replace it.
Have no problem where the girls are in control & get well paid .... but hate exploitation .... of either sex .... having done severally years of child protection work I'm not naive enough to believe it only happens to females
feminism again rearing it's ugly head in my opinion with BBC being complicit.

This article is pretty slanted to woman being paid less than men at Tesco's.
What is doesn't say is that the men who are working in the store and not in the warehouses are also paid the same as the women. The crux of the issue is that warehouse workers are paid more than the store workers and they argue that they should be paid the same (possibly, i don't know enough about the nuances about the two) but the media would like to spin it as if it was part of the gender inequality.
