No one is saying objectification is the devils work and needs to be wiped from society, but many people feel that sexually motivated positions and roles should not placed in sport which ultimately have nothing to do with sex and a wide demographic audience including families. Just because someone thinks naked woman shouldn't be on page 3 of the UK's biggest newspaper, it doesn't mean they think porn should be illegal.

The fact that we're even comparing a strip club to an F1 event should make the point very clear.

Actually it doesn't make it any clearer to me.

If these women are doing this against their will, or are not getting paid. Or if the argument is that they should be paid more... I will understand all that. Hell, if the argument is that their should be more women drivers i could get that too.

What i see here is a bunch of women taking the livelihood of other women simply because they feel they have the moral high ground. The only difference this is going to make in the world right now is that thousands of women or even the agencies that represent them are now out of a job.

Yay?

How about this, show us one single video or one article of these models saying they hate working there and how they feel objectified. Not a sex scandal... those happen everywhere. I am talking about an actual petition by one of these women that warrants this kinda initiative. Just one.

I'll try again. Its not about the models, its about how F1 wants to present itself and women. I'm sure plenty of woman will happily get paid to present the weather forecast in a Bikini, but this wouldn't send out a very positive message, again it will reinforce that woman exist primarily to be objectified. So why would a news channel want to do that? What does scantly clad woman have to do with F1?
