That Man Treats Objects Like Women!
Oct. 6th, 2007 10:02 pm So, we (three girls and a gay, gay boy) went to Hooters the other night, and we were talking about how it's the objectification of women and all that, and I thought being the feminist that I think I am, this should bother me.
Then I realized that it doesn't, simply because Hooters is very open and honest about exactly what they are. I mean, if you apply for a job there, you know that you're going to be making money off people oogling your goodies (to borrow a phrase). I mean, the signs on the walls are all about boobs and the pictures are all of scantily clad busty women. Their motto is "Delightly tacky, yet unrefined." They're not pretending, they're not trying to hide it, and they're definately not being subtle.
Not that that makes objectification of women in broader terms of society and culture ok, but meh. It's just Hooters. And it was fun. It's not like they're hookers or strippers or anything. And some of the waitresses weren't even that busty. In fact, what bothers me is that I'm probably not hot/thin/boob-tastic enough to work there.
Also I gave our waitress (Abbie) a big tip. Because she was hot. And she had a nice ass.
So there.
