    I’m glad this got exposed and shut down.

    I do wonder why a woman would apply for a job whose requirements were you have to be “tall, thin and pretty” and where dressing “sexy” was part of the job. What happened here was bad, but even the best-case scenario is being treated like a piece of meat.

    Before people yell at me, yes, the men were the perpetrators. I’m just saying wouldn’t it be nice if nobody applied for this kind of job when it was offered?

    Sometimes people need money. Surprising, I know, but true.

    Skeletor, if I had seen a job ad like that when I was desperate, about to lose everything, and had a child, (and was still tall, thin, and pretty, and young), I might have been tempted to apply. Why? Because for some strange reason, my kid had to eat (I didn’t, I was anorexic, but he still needed 3 squares a day).

    Oh, that came out sort of wrong. I did need to eat, but I did not eat. So buying food for me was superfluous. It would go to waste. Which was one reason I was thin. I was tall (and still am) just because of being tall. I was pretty because society has a certain class of woman that it deems pretty, and I happened at that time to fit those characteristics.

    Please do not crap on the women. Some of them may like this sort of thing, but some of them may have recognized that the only jobs they are going to get are those where they are groped and treated like meat.

    “Why would young women take that kind of job?”

    “Why do men hold events like these in the first place?”

    We know the answer to both questions, but collectively we only wonder about one of those questions out loud.
