Good to see Bikes are also taking the lead and banning pit girls.

I think you should have kept that to yourself- mods?

Why? You put a picture of your missus wearing virtually nothing, presumably for us to ogle at and think how lucky you are. So, what's the difference between her and the F1 girls? The militants of society are turning people like you into snowflakes; getting you to adapt other people's behaviour so it doesn't offend anyone else. If it doesn't bother you why shout for the mods?

my avatar is my missus
and she has every right to pose like that and to allow you to share it on a world wide public forum, she looks stunning, feel free to share some high resolution pics as well ! - seriously though, what is her view on the F1 Grid Girls and such like, she may well be a lot less concerned than you are.

Well said that man.

In my opinion, this whole 'sexism' and 'equality' debate is getting out of hand. First it was the pay gap in firms like Easyjet, despite there being a clear difference between a pilot and a air hostess, now Weinbergism has shifted into sport!

The bulk of these ladies, enjoy, and actually depend on their jobs. F1 has been backed into a moral corner and may even benefit in the long run but it actually actions such as this actually increase female disparities.

I wholeheartedly think that it is only a matter of time before one looks at a lady the wrong way and it is 'harassment'.

A photograph of a typical "do gooder", cloaked by the establishment aka " the man", the question is, which one is it????

It has all gone a bit too far in many areas in many ways. I've had many a chat with a senior Director at a well known German bank. Their unofficial company policy when in any of their American offices & using lifts was quite interesting. If the lift doors open and a single female is in the lift let the doors close & wait for the next lift. They only did that in America but could see that happening here soon as well.

Firm I worked for went though American ownership in the late 90’s and the top team would not stay in the same hotel as any female colleagues for fear of accusations and innuendo. Me, I stayed at the same hotel as the American ladies and bought drinks till the early hours..........
