On the one hand, some people are saying that these women should not be judged for the work they do - indeed it is a sign of their empowerment. Some of the same people are at the same time implying that these women were well paid (only average pay for London, in my experience), knew exactly what they were getting into - men being men - and a lot of fuss is being made about nothing because wearing "skimpy clothes and sexy shoes" apparently means you are fair game.
Generally speaking, men and women don't do jobs as a political statement or in order to empower themselves - they do them to earn money so that they can pay their bills - and quite often they have a limited choice as to what work they do. In my view it is therefore perfectly understandable that some women accepted an assignment that offered a reasonable rate of pay and a taxi home. Also, if you work for an agency it is wise to accept whatever assignment they give you and never to complain about any of your employers if you want to be given more work.
There is such outrage at the abandonment of F1, darts "girls", etc. But who here thinks it's a bad thing that Page 3 no longer exists and that Miss World is no longer broadcast on mainstream media?
When the smoking ban came in, several businesses suffered - pubs, clubs, bingo halls, etc, - and people lost their jobs. Should practices continue even if they are felt to be unhealthy, outdated/disrespectful of certain groups just so that those jobs are maintained?
