Cheerleaders would be another example. Is it sexual objectification to have scantily clad attractive women on the sidelines? Most probably.
Is having not attractive scantily clad women on the sidelines the answer? No, probably not.
Is getting rid of cheerleaders the answer? Maybe.
Do a lot of girls and women like to be cheerleaders? Apparently.
It seems like the fundamental issue is that men like to see scantily clad attractive women. Efforts to shame or unemploy females who can make money from this is an attempt to fix the symptom, not the cause.

- nicky0 9y agoExcept that cheerleading it a highly skilled role that takes a lot of hard work and training, they are not just standing around looking nice. And there are male cheerleaders. Booth babes, maybe this is highly skilled too. I don't know. But I don't think they compare.
- rmrm 9y agoI dont understand what your point is.
- intopieces 9y agoThe point is that cheerleaders are skilled athletes who are valued for their skill and looks. A beautiful cheerleader standing around is not in demand. Booth Babes are not valued for their skill in holding things, they are valued for their looks only. They are not recognized for their talent. They are treated as objects among objects.
- rmrm 9y agoI agree that is true, but I dont think it changes anything about my post being true as well. A comparatively higher skilled sexual object doesnt change its nature, or why it exists as a job. Maybe you find it more respectable.
