Nah Tumblr is a magical place where one finds the hottest people on the web doing whatever your heart desires...

this topic is just plain bizarre considering how it turned into a debate about Nigerian communism a few pages back...

That last part is a special feature of NS, though.

Tumblr is all about teenage boys telling each other what women think, with any dissenting voices dismissed as [adjective]-feminists?

You guys are honestly on the lamest part of tumblr....I mean seriously...you use it for that?!

That'd be like using Youtube for all the stupid conspiracy videos and Ison comet crap when you could be watching movies or free anime episodes.Maybe free music videos/full albums...

Come on guys...I thought I was on a forum full of great thinkers and you can't even find the good side of tumblr... :shock:

Anyway Hooter's is a necessary evil in todays society and communists overwhelming hate it.That is what this topic has thought me...oh and that not all of tumblr is great...also avoid said arguing teens on tumblr...(which I must be good at since I have never found that side of tumblr)

How in the world is Hooters "necessary?" It's just a restaurant chain.

Far be it from me to tell my daughter what jobs she can and cannot do. I'd just hope I never stumble upon any of her videos. :?

No... They enjoy working there and its their choice what to do with their body. By saying yes you are degrading women because they know what they are doing and that's their choice. Feminazis would scream that its degrading women as a whole but its not.

Women & Men are certainly divided...A interview had a group of hooters girls tell their side...all of them say that its a great place to work and that it is awfully exaggerated by married women and or conservatives...sooo if the Hooters girls love it then is it actually that bad???
Men love it but for obviously the wrong reasons(Me also being a man)But some don't...But back to the point, is it ultimately about tatas and 18 year old girls?
I think it's both...the food is very good and the women just entices me to go again...

For all the wrong reasons? What?

Umm.. what?

Anyway... I would like to see a male version of hooters somewhere near my locality :lol: Equality and all that xP hahaha

Wtf? So hooters are sending a message that women are sex objects.... HOW!? So strippers are sending that message too? Let me get this clear... they do NOT represent women. I do not know ANYONE who thinks that... Anyone who works as a stripper, porn star, etc does not represent females as a whole and never will. I seriously hate tumblr feminazis... One woman doing something does not represent the gender as a whole. I conclude my response.

Yes, but it'll be about real traps. As in, you walk in, and a trapdoor opens under you and you're dropped into a pit.

I seriously hate tumblr feminazis... One woman doing something does not represent the gender as a whole. I conclude my response.

They don't believe that the actions of one woman represent the whole group. They're saying that since things like Hooters and strip clubs sexualise and objectify women the companies are enforcing the culture that reduces women to sex objects.

I think CD explains it best:

Celestial Divinities wrote:I'm sure it's not degrading to the women who work there, however that does not mean it is not harmful to females as a whole. More power to the women profiting from it (get those tips girlie!) but at the same time it reinforces rape culture/this dangerous idea that women are sexual objects. In an ideal world a Hooters could totally exist without degrading anyone. Men would go to enjoy food and harmlessly look at women (because who on Earth doesn't like to look at attractive people and eat??) and there wouldn't be a rape culture to reinforce. There would be a Hooters for women (EDIT THIS EXISTS THATS GREAT ) and we could go and ogle at some lovely six pack abs and enjoy a nice quinoa stuffed pepper. So Hooter's isn't inherently degrading, it is the preexisting flaws in our society that makes it so.

PS, given the opportunity, I would totally work at a Hooters myself. I think I personally would feel empowered and I love wearing minimal clothing. Ideal job tbh

I think it's degrading. I once saw a clip on TV (don't know what show, but it had to do with an undercover camera man) where a manager of a hooters made the girls eat a plate of beans without any utensils, and whoever finished first got to go home early. The girls absolutely hated it. They've done other things that really bug me, too.

Oh, I'm also male and not a feminist or femenazi. I absolutely hate femenazis.

It's really fucking shitty to call people traps, and you shouldn't do it.

That's no fun, unless the bottom of the trap is filled with traps, then it's worth.
