    Formula 1 Grid Girls Slam Feminists Who Put Them Out of Work

    http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018...ists-put-work/

    by WARNER TODD HUSTON1 Feb 20181295

    Late last month feminists celebrated a victory, after convincing Formula 1 racing to get rid of its gird girls. Now the women who lost their jobs are slamming the feminists for their unwanted interference.

    At the end of January, Formula 1 announced that it had decided to end its use of the pretty models who interact with the crowd and carry the names of sponsors on their clothing. The grid girls will be gone commencing with the new season which starts at the end of March.

    “While the practice of employing grid girls has been a staple of Formula 1 grands prix for decades, we feel this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms,” said managing director of commercial operations Sean Bratches.

    “We don’t believe the practice is appropriate or relevant to Formula 1 and its fans, old and new, across the world,” Bratches added.

    But now the women who have just lost their jobs are slamming the decision and the interference of the feminists who lobbied the sport to fire the girls.

    According to Business Insider:

    Rebecca Cooper, a five-time F1 grid girl, said on Twitter that it is “ridiculous that women who say they are ‘fighting for women’s rights’ are saying what others should and shouldn’t do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. [It is] political correctness gone mad.”

    Cooper also implied that grid girls have been misrepresented and put together a photograph collage to highlight that women who work in her trade are not “scantily clad furniture” and that the outfits are more modest.

    Another grid girl took to Facebook to slam the move. Grid girl Michelle Westby said:

    “If it wasn’t for grid work / promotional modeling, I wouldn’t be where I am now in a ‘male dominated’ sport and job as a stunt driver and drift competition driver, inspiring and influencing females into this ‘intimidating male environment.’ I get girls messaging me all the time saying how I inspire them and made them want to get into racing and drifting when they didn’t think they would be accepted… What people don’t realize, is that the girls have knowledge of the products and teams they are promotion — that’s part of the job. We get a brief on the uniform but it’s up to us if we feel comfortable in it. We are more clothed than what teenagers wear down the supermarkets. I’m now retired but to think girls have lost a lot of important income because feminists think they know best, when they really haven’t got a clue, is frustrating.”

    One of the groups that agitated to force the firing of the girls was Britain’s Women’s Sport Trust. The group has been trying to get several British sports leagues to end the use of models during events. Several days ago the group celebrated victory when both the British Professional Dart Corporation and Formula 1 acquiesced to dumping the models.

    Several models that lost their job took to social media to criticize those who got them fired.

    I am a grid girl, I LOVE my job and I CHOOSE to do it! The issue at the moment is there are too many people being offended on behalf of people who are not offended at all!

    I will be devastated if @OfficialBSB and @iom_tt follow suit.#saveourgridgirls #womensrights gridgirls pic.twitter.com/yr074Bnnq0

    So the inevitable has happened, F1 gridgirls have been banned. Ridiculous that women who say they are "fighting for women's rights" are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. PC gone mad 😡 #Gridgirls

    I love my job. I’m respected, paid well & proud to represent the team I’m working for. It’s not right for anyone, let alone ‘feminists’ to judge our job when quite frankly they are putting so many women out of work. Where is the equality & empowerment here? #GridGirls #F1 💛🏁

    Me wonders if Sue Campbell looked that old when she was in her 20s or the grid girls would age that well when they get to their late late 60s. Have no problem with eye candy, it gets me excited which is good but I can see how this sort of showcasing would affect how women are perceived in the industry.

    I watch F1 before I knew they had grid girls and I will continue to watch after they are gone. Its like the sprinkles in my ice cream cone, makes it look good but doesn't enhance the flavour at all

    Or is she pissed she's older and can't do it anymore?

    I remember when two dwarfs convinced the Florida legislature to ban dwarf throwing. Another dwarf had to sue Gov. Jeb Bush and the state to overturn it. Petty tyrants abound.

    I don't know. I read her tweets about it and she is as proud as can be despite being slammed over and over. She acts like it's some kind of great victory for women.

    I too think it is a great victory for women. Women shouldn't be working outside the home, now these "girls" can find proper husbands and get to work making babies and sandwiches.

    They should expand this. All of these "fashion" shows and "fashion" magazines and "fashion" photos need to be banned. They only serve to exploit women. It's sexist, it's abusive, it's racist, it's literally Hitler!

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
