Do you eat at Hooters? Are you a woman?

So you can kiss my grits.

See that is funny, not sexual.

I am very surprised how many women can not see past the clothes the girls wear. Actually, the girls mostly are cute and friendly.

We went one night when my son was really, really young and it was not because we wanted a good meal we probably just could not deal with the snobby people in <fill in the blank> restaurant that think every meal they have out is a special occassion. My very active boy was probably driving me crazy and I probably just needed a beer.

It was not busy and the waitress played catch with him so we could eat. She was very nice.

I guess after watching my neices play volleyball for years little shorts don't phase me.

I get not one iota of a feeling of girls being "sexualized" in the restaurant. They are wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

I also wonder how many of these women against Hooters are also for girls to NOT be judged by "what they wear".

It's as if you're arguing several different things here, none well. I'm sure the women who work there are just like everyone - a mix of nice and terrible, dim and bright, etc. No one's implying they're bad people of reworking there. The clothes are a bit different than shorts and a tee-shirt based on the pictures I've seen, and quite a bit tighter. If you can't see that a restaurant named "Hooters" is, in fact, meant to sexualize the women who work there, then point missed. Moreover - did you liken your nieces' outfits to the costumes worn at Hooters? That's gross.

Did anyone say "kiss my grits" was sexual?

You know perfectly well it is not that simple. Or you have never seen their advertisements.

The girls in that restaurant don't get to choose what they wear. If the world were perfect, they would have plenty of jobs to choose from, and so only wants that really wanted to dress like that would work there, but we all know the world is not perfect. We are not judging the girls. We are judging the people who pick their outfits and the people who make the commercials for that restaurant for marketing almost exclusively to men. That may be fine, but expect me to be as comfortable there as most men would be in a room that was pure pink with frilly frills everywhere, the air doused with a floral perfume. I know where I am not wanted...

I happen to think high heels are appallingly misogynistic, and I think a little less of women who wear them. About on par with Hooters girls' uniforms. But at least they don't have to permanently maim their feet for their job.

They don't have to maim your feet. There are comfortable ones out there.

I'm a woman. I've eaten at Hooters before and was not offended by the attire. I swear their wings used to be better. It's a beer and wing joint. I think some of the PPs are putting a little too much thought into it.

The anti-hooters posters probably are anti bikini too.

It is shorts and a tshirt. The add posted is not what they where.

No, I have no problem with bikinis ... on the beach. As waitress attire, yes, I would have a problem with it.

It’s not the food or the outfits , it’s the objectification of the women an how woman think it’s a compliment , the reason there’s no resteraunts called “packages” is because men would have to be ok with being objectified an they usually use there brains to make a dollar , u need a certain kind of girl to work at hooters , usually one without brains

OK, living in the city or not has nothing to do with patronizing chains

More chains in the city than most places. The original Hooters, in fact, was in midtown Manhattan and is still there.

But lots of chains in DC...

It's not really my kind of food. So no.

I like wings and I ate at Hooters once, the wings were good. But you can get good wings lots of places. If I want to look at big boobs I just look in the mirror. I don't have any real objection to Hooters but I would love to eat at the restaurant that would be called Packages, yum!

You resurrected a 7 year old thread for this? I'd say you are the "one without brains."

[Anonymous]

No, never been. The demeaning of women is a turn off. And I have a perception, which could be wrong, that the servers do the dumb cutesy thing which I would fine annoying.

It's a free market. Open your own restaurant. Ah... Too late, it was done in 2015. Do keep up.
