[SocJus] How male-feminists are reacting to "grid girls" being banned from Formula 1 vs how the women are reacting to losing their jobs [x-post /r/KotakuInAction]

Loved comparing Beyonce to the grid girls.

cursedbylot · 2018-02-01T06:40:48+00:00

They really want men to forget that there are better looking women.

thr0wawaydyel2 · 2018-02-01T03:08:01+00:00

How dare those women do with their own bodies as they see fit?! Reprehensible!

ZimbaZumba · 2018-02-01T03:09:54+00:00

Prudery disguised a progressiveness.

jacksleepshere · 2018-02-01T08:52:43+00:00

That Beyonce post is perfect. Not only is she clearly way more influential to young girls and being infinitely more suggestive than the formula 1 walk out girls, but she is a complete dickhead too.

HeForeverBleeds · 2018-02-01T00:33:11+00:00

Feminists don't don't like the idea that these women actually enjoyed their jobs. In their minds, all women will only be happy in STEM fields, in politics, and as CEO's of some companies

2018-02-01T02:01:00+00:00

Human sexuality is normal, natural, and nothing to be ashamed of. Flaunting it in people's faces against their will is rude, and expressing it through means which harm other people is wrong.

A woman dressing in a way which shows a figure she worked hard for, and by her own volition displaying it for people to see, is something we as a society should embrace. I find it highly ironic that the Puritan values America was founded on have been inherited by a movement which considers itself progressive.

Hwga_lurker_tw · 2018-02-01T06:24:08+00:00

Progress for the sake of progress. This is what feminists wanted... to remove jobs from moderately attractive women in the name of equality.

Aren't women supposed to be proud and happy to choose how to flaunt their gender's traits, including attractiveness, such as body images, etc ?

Why the slutshaming?

What if the Grid Girls simply wrote "still not asking for it" on their uniforms, just like the slutwalk protesters, that would be legit right ?

Apparently it's fine for a stripper to have body autonomy, but not grid girls ?

https://i.imgur.com/1QXyIHN.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/YRTevMj.jpg

One moment it's "positive body image for women" and "my body my choice", and the next it's shaming women who choose to use their bodies like grid girls ?

These morons can't coherently define what the fuck they really want, except that they're against anything MEN enjoy, so basically women against men......even if it means shooting other women in the foot.

EDIT:

Added slutwalk example images to exemplify the hypocrisy of their message.

akamustacherides · 2018-02-01T04:18:38+00:00

Is this going to be a push back against all the hashtag movements of the last six months? Will attractive women that use their looks and sex appeal to make a living start losing work and get pissed at the stereotype feminist? Thinking changes when politicized issues start hurting your income.

AyyyGreens · 2018-02-01T00:35:43+00:00

They’re fighting for your right to be unemployed for relying on your looks!

Bikertron · 2018-02-01T09:59:45+00:00

Men who are angry that they can't get such women and women who are angry they'll never look like such just can't let anyone else have anything nice.

El_Maltos_Username · 2018-02-01T07:15:19+00:00

I bet a fair share of Tumblerinas who fought grid girls participate in the so empowering Slut Walks.

DerangedGinger · 2018-02-01T01:29:36+00:00

I thought feminism was against slut shaming. Not saying I think they look slutty, but it's being implied by the people whining about them.

WhatMixedFeelings · 2018-02-01T02:39:14+00:00

It's only the ugly girls who call themselves feminists and wreak politically correct havoc like this. It's just jealousy.

Vandechoz · 2018-02-01T04:07:05+00:00

wow they really said "CURRENT YEAR!"

tallwheel · 2018-02-01T04:38:00+00:00

Oh for god's sake. What's next? Ring girls too? Probably.

borlak · 2018-02-01T05:13:00+00:00

They got it backwards. Don't get rid of grid girls, add in grid boys!

2018-02-01T08:53:38+00:00

I don't watch darts. I don't watch F1 but this ending of girls stuff is bullshit. If the girls are happy there's no issue is there? As long as they have legal protection and are free to look elsewhere for work I see no issue.

Those getting upset are doing so because they want to be upset and are likely envious less attractive women.

What next? Ban male race drivers because they're athletic wealthy guys that some women may find attractive?

Sort it out SJWs and fight FGM instead.

nothingbutinsults · 2018-02-01T08:58:50+00:00

The world needs to catch up an learn that that the twitter likes from this mass deluded, gender bullying hate group DOES NOT reflect the views and opinions of the general population. Twitter likes from that hate group does not equal public opinion.

2018-02-01T02:49:53+00:00

This is going to be a huge deal. Another blow to feminism

jacksleepshere · 2018-02-01T11:12:56+00:00

Also, can I point out how great of a name Ophelia Cox is.

phukka · 2018-02-01T12:20:40+00:00

Makes you wonder what feminism is actually fighting for. Damn sure doesn't seem to be for women's rights.

SwampthingsSwampButt · 2018-02-01T05:18:52+00:00

Man I'd prance around in a thong to get to hang out with formula one drivers and the cars all while getting paid for it but nobody wants to see a bald middle aged cancer patient doing that shit....

I'd be very upset if I lost a job like that over some stupid political bullshit.

It's not even like they were wearing anything lewd or more scandalous than what is found on day time tv game shows and shit....

This is just fat ugly cows fucking with the Stacy's of the world, these feminist are nothing but neckbearded vaginas, lol

I mean I really don't care, it changes nothing for me with formula one, I just feel really bad for these women and the type of lives they are losing because of a bunch of dykes and NBV's....could you imagine getting to travel the world and basically just hang out and pose for photos for a decent wage?

Man, I'm like super angry for these women, lol.

mwobuddy · 2018-02-01T03:37:47+00:00

Look at the male feminists. The kind of guys who cant get laid playing in the dominance hierarchy white knighting to try to gain value.

DirHR · 2018-02-01T01:29:18+00:00

They don't seem to mind when the male feminists echo their views so I am not inclined to give a shit now.

neoj8888 · 2018-02-01T03:47:34+00:00

Some people just wanna watch the world burn

sigurdsnakeintneeye · 2018-02-01T08:55:47+00:00

Feminism is misogyny

TheNextMilo · 2018-02-01T05:07:44+00:00

Look. I’d ask a feminist if they’d say the same about male strippers, but they’d be screaming misogyny in my face before I could finish.

2018-02-01T08:31:54+00:00

Since they want to be there, does this then count as some kind of "slut shaming?"

RoboModeTrip · 2018-02-01T10:17:05+00:00

I didn't even know grid girls existed until they banned them.

wardrich · 2018-02-01T12:51:18+00:00

It's like the guys assume women have no brain and are just forced into these positions against their will... The level of delusion is off the charts

wiseprogressivethink · 2018-02-01T03:45:47+00:00

"Male feminists" need to be shunned.

mort47 · 2018-02-01T08:06:22+00:00

What does this have to do with men's rights though?

loki-things · 2018-02-01T05:43:10+00:00

Fat chicks mad that good looking chicks get easy jobs like that.

hypnobearcoup · 2018-02-01T03:30:43+00:00

We did it Patrick! We saved the ~~city~~ m'lady!

_-_steve_-_ · 2018-02-01T09:24:50+00:00

Her body, her choice.

marnoch · 2018-02-01T16:38:00+00:00

Every time I see something like this I get the feeling that we are one step closer to putting all women in burkas....

mully_and_sculder · 2018-02-01T11:55:23+00:00

Its just yet another example of anti-feminism treating grown women like infants.

They can do this if they so choose. They are getting paid. If they are abused or mistreated it is unacceptable. If they are not abused or mistreated they are making cash to look sexy while some of us dumb blokes get to see some pretty girls.

7hunderpants · 2018-02-01T09:10:27+00:00

First they banned lads mags...now this.

Where will it end.

tricks_23 · 2018-02-01T14:41:33+00:00

Can someone please venture a theory of when the world is going to give up on all this political correctness and being offended on other people's behalf? What is going to make this infuriating bubble burst?

2018-02-01T14:52:51+00:00

There's a 100% chance that all of the feminists and manginas making a stink about the grid girls don't even watch motorsports.

2018-02-01T15:08:24+00:00

There are two things behind this:

They believe that men liking something means it's bad.
The feminists are jealous. When was the last time you saw a hot third-wave feminist? They can't stand that these hot women are making money and enjoying their job so they took it away.

Vergal · 2018-02-01T16:51:04+00:00

Instead of banning gridgirls, why not employ gridguys?

memesplaining · 2018-02-01T17:57:26+00:00

Feminism is ugly women's revenge on beautiful women. Just jealousy.

2018-02-01T20:18:32+00:00

It’s ridiculous. I would like the courts to view fathers and mothers as equals. That doesn’t mean that any women who might not want to have sex with me is a “chad loving whore”. Hell, most of these guys would probably call me a Chad because some women find me attractive. Take some ownership over your own life! Your problems are not to be blamed o the rest of society!

xRisingSunx · 2018-02-01T04:56:23+00:00

When a group that is fueled by hostility and hate runs out of enemies to fight, they cannibalize their own.

But in all likelihood I think this is a money play disguised as social justice. AKA "Grid Girls are no longer worth the money they are being paid, so we will use this excuse to fire them all and increase profits."

Racing doesn't give a fuck about feminism because that is NOT THEIR TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. It's all money, it's always about money.

Is women objectification really a problem?

chambertlo · 2018-02-01T09:03:46+00:00

Sexual predator #1 looks like he is hiding SOME SHIT.

Sexual predator #2 probably has a girl locked in his basement.

Sexual predator #3 looks like he ruffies women for sport.

Male feminists are a disgrace and should have their testicles revoked.

Lord_ThunderCunt · 2018-02-01T04:46:32+00:00

What's a Nutz magazine and do I need a time machine to get one?

mcavvacm · 2018-02-01T09:43:10+00:00

I'll be honest, I freaking LOVE this development. In the name of equality and all that jazz they did the exact opposite and ruined another good thing that wasn't actually sexist or actively hurting people.

They're digging their own graves.

StrongAffordance · 2018-02-01T09:41:29+00:00

Good for formula 1. Every one of these women was a lawsuit waiting to happen if anyone who wasn’t a billionaire driver made a pass at them.

killcat · 2018-02-01T08:22:55+00:00

I mean duh, hot girls with no real world skills got paid good money, plus endorsement and mag deals for parading round in skimpy outfits, of course they're upset.

Mefic_vest · 2018-02-01T08:40:10+00:00

I… really don’t see the downside to this. Now women will have to compete with men for jobs based on competence and merit, instead of sex appeal and female privilege. True equality in action and doing its job, TBH.

boringcarpets · 2018-02-01T12:57:27+00:00

Does anyone else think Grundy has an old fap mag under his bed? I think he doth project to much

2018-02-01T13:52:04+00:00

What happened?

You-ducking-wish · 2018-02-01T15:19:40+00:00

The guy in the top left corner looks like his hair is on backwards.

binrobinro · 2018-02-01T16:30:05+00:00

This is why we can't have anything nice.

chadwickofwv · 2018-02-01T18:27:34+00:00

The feminist cows must believe that if they eliminate all other job options women will start going into STEM fields.

Rethgil · 2018-02-01T20:08:15+00:00

Very astute post. Nice one.

Blutarg · 2018-02-01T21:48:35+00:00

I just don't get it. We're tossing people out of work so that other people can feel better about themselves?

Losing your job sucks. I've been there, and I'm sure most people here have, too. You don't just cost someone their job on a whim.

Pseudonymble · 2018-02-02T18:13:09+00:00

They're arguing themselves out of their prime niche market!

soloxplorer · 2018-02-01T05:15:18+00:00

I get what they're trying to do, it's this idea of removing sexual objectification of a subject. If feminists think the world will be a better place because of it, by all means go for it.

There are two caveats that come with this though. The first being they'll have to find a way that doesn't infringe on a person's individual choice to be objectified, good luck. Second, to be intellectually consistent, they should be willing to remove images like this if they truly stand for equality and against sexual objectification. I won't be holding my breath for their support on either.

g_squidman · 2018-02-01T11:20:11+00:00

This is a great example of second-wave feminism compared to third-wave feminism. Learning the difference was one of the best decisions of my life.

If anyone is curious, this is the source I usually reference for finding the distinction: https://www.pacificu.edu/about/media/four-waves-feminism

Kazaril · 2018-02-01T13:38:12+00:00

I'm a Male feminist. I think we should be adding 'grid guys' rather than taking away grid girls.

tortillastomper · 2018-02-01T07:15:14+00:00

Those male feminists look like child molesters. They might not be, but man I'd keep my kid away from them.

BreachLAN-gemini · 2018-02-01T10:53:01+00:00

Downvoting because this is not a mens rights issue.

Just4yourpost · 2018-02-01T05:35:10+00:00

Fuck'em. You reap what you fucking sow.

Enjoy your future with those Soyboys.

Fishyinthemiddle · 2018-02-01T06:23:32+00:00

Haha, I saw this post and for some reason I thought I was on the feminist sub. I was like "oh wow, what an interesting and nuanced perspective". Then I saw the comments and they were all "women should stop being surprised when they are treated like sluts when they dress provocatively" and I was SO CONFUSED, until I saw I was on r/MensRights .

Late_Nightsx · 2018-02-01T03:36:08+00:00

You know, I think this may be a good thing. I know many my not agree with me but at least it'll help out stomp out the model mentality like those girls on Instagram and make it so woman have to rely on looks less to get by.

putitonice · 2018-02-01T04:58:32+00:00

LOL this shit is ridiculous. First and foremost, F1 is a private organization with shareholders and public image to uphold; they’re free to do whatever the fuck they please. The double standards are reaching the point of laughable. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.
