You bring up an interesting point. While it could be argued that it's different when they're half naked men, people don't stop *for a second* when we see half naked women in magazines, on TV, dancing on stages, in movies, etc., or even portrayed as what might be considered "sex objects" in our pop songs. Nobody bats an eye.
And then at an after party.. in San Francisco... girls wear regular clothing/dresses and dance and it's the end of the world because they're 1% associated with the video game industry. Oh neos teh sexist. =) If anything, I say we should respect those women and not judge them based on their work but on who they are. I think it's sexist to say those women are sex objects when they're paid to get a dancing party started. And who's calling these women sex objects? Oh that's right, feminists and "women's rights" advocates. While the rest of us don't even bat an eye and don't think of them as sex objects at all.
