You should blame the girls for selling out their bodies and their own gender. But no, the culprit is PAY-TREE-ARKEE, and MUH-SOGGY-KNEE.

Feminists should realize that good looking women have a finite amount of time to cash in on their bodies. Not every female is willing to rack up student debt for a womyns studies degree and then throw her morals out the window and marry a guy who actually works for a living. Most of these airhead s at conventions are probably looking for a rich daddy anyways. Can't say I blame them.

I wonder if she would have had the same response if it was Chippendales dancers? Newsflash lady, both sexes objectify each other, and its only natural. Stop trying to deny human nature.

The only women offended by this are the ones who don't look like these ladies here.

The girls themselves look pretty happy. And wait, I thought it was empowering to own your sexuality and to earn money for yourself? Just not at the same time?

This is a common misconception, so let me help you clear it up. It is empowering to own your sexuality and to leverage it to make money for yourself, but its problematic if men are enjoying your sexuality and a corporation owned by men is using your sexuality to enhance its profits. Use your sexuality to sucker a man into marriage and divorce-rape him? Empowering. Sell your sexuality to a company owned by men to enhance their bottom line? Oppression.

You can't say you're oppressed when you literally do it to yourself. This is so not a valid argument.

Again, you need to be educated about the patriarchy and how gender norms oppress women. Freedom is having power and privilege. Women don't have either, consequently, they are not self actualized human beings. Therefore, they have no agency, the agency in the equation belongs to the evil patriarchal corporation which uses their sexuality to fatten its own profits.
A strong, independent womyn who doesn't need a man is free, she is not a slave to anyone. These women, in this example, need holistic healing and wellness before they can accept any responsibility for their actions. The oppression structure of the patriarchy must be destroyed completely before this can happen.
(Note: writing feminist is easy. You take a perfectly logical argument, and then remove reason and accountability)

My favorite response to that (which I haven't actually had a chance to deploy in the wild) is "But you do have power and privilege. Significantly so over men."
When they say "men [or whites] have power and privilege" they can never actually give valid examples. I can.

Oppression doesn't receive a paycheck and perks.

Sure it does, even plantation slavery had free meals, and free housing, right? The trouble was that you were never allowed to leave the plantation, not that you weren't fed and clothed and housed.

Probably getting paid twice what I do to wave around glowing things and look pretty. Not even standing is required.
