” its truly depressing how many prehistoric blokes came on saying that women should ‘lighten up” or that they should just accept that thats the way things are"

"Alternatively it’s truly surprising how many ‘modern’ men find it odd/wrong that attractive women choose to make money from the way they look and and that successful men are willing to capitalise on that."

The first quote is the reason for the second <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not being a choice</span>: society still pervades the old misogyny so that execs and boards of companies are full of men who have inappropriate activities laid on for them and the entertainment industry finds women who need to work and having not had the opportunities to work jobs offered to men, find themselves with no choice other than wearing clothes they don't really want to and have blokes who they don't know putting their hands where they aren't wanted.

Well....yes....  I'm sure we all look to Donald Trump when we're searching for a barometer as to acceptable behaviour towards women

What we're saying bin bins, with that reference, is, not that we look to Trump, or should, but that a man, being so obvious an example of this type of behaviour, has been voted into the one of the most powerful positions in the World by the American people. In 2017.

So... you know... long long way to go.

Again.... I won't be looking to the kind of squirrel-eating rednecked shit-kicker who voted for Trump as an example of how to treat women. Or ethnic minorities, or anything else for that matter

I don't think its too much of a stretch to expect that the kind of 'Masters of the Universe' who were present at a do like that might aim a bit higher as well

I'm sure they all have high aspirations - they'd all like to be like Donnie.

[i]Or ethnic minorities[/i]

Heard on the news this morning, that he's the 'least racist person you could meet'... I bet he's probably the least sexist too.

Some of these comments.. hehehe

I'll proudly admit to being a knuckle dragging sexist pig from the last century. Surprisingly, outside the bizarre universe of this forum, it's still quite acceptable in most circles I frequent..

@elzorillo, not being provocative here, but why would you be proud to be a "knuckle dragging, sexist pig from the last century"? I can understand why people might be that kind of person but not why they'd be proud of the fact.

Doubtless your personal echo chambers are full of other sexist pigs affirming your own views, that's the way these things work, but it doesn't mean wider society is all like the circles you frequent (thankfully), and it doesn't make this forum bizarre. Though what with Poe's law I'm not sure whether you're proud to be a sexist pig unlike all us liberal snowflakes, or you just need to get back under your bridge.

> Only one who complains is a Journo who shouldnt have been there in the first place

Cos the hostesses were gagged with a non disclosure agreement and had their phones taken away so they couldn't record what was going on.

Raising loads for charity? I wonder how many pay all the tax they're due?

Because on average they seem to have more fun, be more successful in life and get all the best looking women.

The charities should have taken the money and if they had a problem with the morality have then redirected it to charities that specialise in female abuse.

Why give them their money back ?

The organiser that supplied the women should be done if it is as bad as they say.

The behaviour reported at the event revolts me. I am surprised the attendees are classed as “presidents” when they have shown such little respect for fellow human beings.  Well done FT for putting it in public view.

As the op I was expecting the reaction posted on here. I'm far from someone who gets in a tizzy when women are employed purely based on their looks (see any pit girl or podium girl thread) but I'm completely with the majority here. It's absolutely depressing that this kind of event exists on so many levels. And the self entitlement on display is equally disgusting.

Back to my op however, not much opinion on handing back the cash charities have received. Sure its a bit tainted, but I'd much rather see it spent on good causes rather than returned to the aforementioned individuals on a point of principle. At least then some good may come of the whole sordid affair. Handing it back benefits noone at this point

With regards to the cash, especially the childrens hospital, it doesn't sit right with me giving it back. That's bound to have some effect on the kids.
