Bad taste and inefficient, sure, but sexist? I don’t see any prejudice or discrimination here on the part of the presenter, apart from possibly discriminating men for not considering them as ‘booth boys’.
My point is really that it is absolutely trivial to shout ‘sexism/sexist’ every time something isn’t the way people would want it to be and one can possibly create a link to women, but overusing the designation won’t help equalising genders and judging people independently of their X and Y chromosomes – much the same way that claims of ‘racism’ whenever a black person is involved don’t help the cause against racism either.
- mnicole 14y agoMen aren't walking around the event floor because they aren't seen as sex objects. That is sexist in itself. But yes it's also discriminatory towards men for not having the same privilege if you want to view it that way instead (which is still sexism). Wish the other commenter hadn't deleted his post; in it he said that he doesn't like booth babes because they imply that he is dumb enough to be fooled by it, which brings up another great point about the type of people that are in favor of this type of advertising.
