So no more F1 Grid Girls and no scantily clad, fit birds leading the darts chaps out

This masquerades as identity politics, but like so much identity politics it is in fact as much about class.

Middle class men and women are dictating to working class women the ways in which they should be allowed to earn money. They are not regarded as having agency or sufficient 'education' to make such decisions for themselves, so their 'betters' are deciding for them.

It is deeply, deeply nasty.

Saw a tweet from a girl who works as a grid girl complaining about how the pretend feminists have taken away her way of making a living. Can’t help but agree with her. The funny thing is grid girls just stand there in tight dresses. Models on the catwalk are often showing quite a bit more than a grid girl. Will we do away with those now or is that a bit to upmarket?

In modelling at least there is something resembling equivalence, in that men on catwalks are highly common, unlike F1 or darts.

In fact, as with porn stars, female models get paid more than the men.

Nothing to do with the male gaze being quite lucrative, though. Oh, no!

I'm sure they would be willing to take a pay cut to rectify the gender pay gap that discriminates against male models.

Question is, will somone still need to stand there on the very crowded F1 grid holding up a lollypop showing the driver where his slot is (fnar fnar)? If so it will probably be some bloke on the team, who will be taking the girl's job.

I expect they'll use the radio to guide them in though to avoid them thar optics.
