Cameron Diaz makes the case for why some women “want to be objectified” in an eyebrow-raising, yet candid interview with the Sunday Times.
“I think every woman does want to be objectified. There’s a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it’s healthy,” the actress tells the paper.
Diaz notes that she personally finds scantily-clad photo shoots to be “empowering.”
She says, “I’m not some young girl with the photographer going, ‘Will you take your clothes off?’ I’m like [mimes stripping], ‘How does this look?’”
“They’re like, ‘Today we’re not going to put anything other than bras and heels on you,’” Diaz continues, “and I’m like, ‘These heels are not high enough.’”
“I’m a woman, I know how to handle myself,” the What to Expect When You’re Expecting star adds.
Diaz explains, “I know what I feel comfortable doing and I know my sexuality."

I was watching Undercover Boss and it was about Tilted Kilt, which is apparently this restaurant chain where the sexy, busty waitresses wear less clothing than a Hooters girl (not kidding. Much less.)
The boss went to one of the locations where they aren't doing too well in sales and noticed the atmosphere there was a lot less lively than the store he had visited before. One of the 'security' guys said that a lot of the girls go to him complaining that guys are hitting on them, giving them phone numbers, and sometimes tugging at their skirts and shit.
REALLY? If you work in a place where you let your tits hang out and your skirt is up to your mound, shouldn't you sort of expect that kind of behavior from the guys who come in there? Then the boss guy who was Undercover said privately to the camera that he is upset this kind of behavior is happening, and this is a classy, family place and no one should be treated that way.
I figured girls go there to work because they know how to work the guys who are hitting on them, and while of course not acting on it or anything, at least be playful and flirty back, because you are going to make better tips that way.
I just can't believe a girl would willingly work in a place like that, put on a very, very revealing work outfit, and expect to be treated with utmost respect.
i feel like if you seriously have this opinion, you're going to fight against anything a woman tells you otherwise anyway.
he seriously said classy family place?
now that being said, of course they're going to get flirty customers but they still have to be respected

Yes, they expect to get hit on. Yes, they expect to get numbers. But they shouldn't be disrespected (and never grabbed but fuck that happens all the time too) because of their clothing.
I don't see an issue with them being upset at guys tugging on their clothes. If you can't touch a stripper what would make these dudes think they can grab a waitress. Just because her tits are almost hanging out? nah
YOU ARE WRONG IN THINKING THIS. the end.
What about that disgusting pig that worked one of the Hooters that ended up getting canned for his behavior, treating the girls like shit "they're divas, they have to earn the right to go home by being degraded, trolololol". Nah.
A lot of men seem to have a sense that since woman wears a low cut shirt or short skirt that she wants any and all men to have sex with her.
I can't say it's like this for all women but my guess is for most of them it's more like this.
They want to feel attractive or flirty or cute. They want to show off the body they probably work hard on and work somewhere that's fun and different. Daring and bold. Plus?? The tips there must be insane. BUT. NOW HERE IS THE LARGE BUT!
They don't want to be touched. No one does. That shits disgusting lol. No, they don't expect it because they figure the men will sit there, eat their food, and leave. Yes they might get an odd comment or two, but actual touching?? No one see's that coming. It's a food place, not a whore house. It's like when you go to Sonic burger and the servers come out in rollerblades. They don't EXPECT that someone is going to run up and push them down. Yes it could happen because they're wearing those blades, but who in their right mind would do that? Like, what kind of monster would disrespect someone so badly? It's the same way with those skimpy uniforms. In both cases, I suppose the employees are taking a risk, but obviously they should both NOT expect such bad treatment. Especially when strip clubs exist. If you want to touch a woman that's where you should go. Not a novelty act fast food establishment that's open to people of all ages.
I'd explain further but I have to take a nap before I go to work LOL goodluck
You are a mess in this thread. Just stop.
Shouldn't the men realize that these women are wearing a UNIFORM, and that just because the uniform, required to be worn for a shitty minimum wage job, is revealing/slutty/etc., it doesn't mean the woman inside is- trust me, not a lot of women get into the ~lucrative field of waiting tables because they want to get hit on 24/7 and they probably hate the uniform as much as they hate the customer glaring them down while they wear it...
My dad always said "if I don't want a man to say or do it to my daughter, my mother, my sister, or my girlfriend, then I'm not going to do it to a woman either." That's the bottom line in these things- treat others how you want to be treated.
edit: I responded to this, and then read through the thread-- even though a lot of what you said is making people angry, I really appreciate the fact that you didn't seem to be trolling and tried to talk out the issues and were willing to listen to what people say. Even though you started and continued a line of thought here that is really quite degrading to women, and problematic in various ways, I think it's really important & good that you tried to work past that, and actually posed it as a legitimate question you wanted to understand.

yes your ignorance is completely stupid.
and i give zero fucks if im walking around vag first naked that doesn't give ANYONE the right to TOUCH ME AT ALL WITHOUT ASKING FIRST. did you know at most strip clubs (bc i've had a few friends have to do that so they could, i don't know EAT) you can't touch them without permission. so no, ANYONE should ASK someone esp someone hey don't know if they can TOUCH or GRAB them before they do. also, maybe those girls work there because it's the ONLY job they could get at the time and they need to fucking eat and live somewhere so fuck you and your ignorance tbh. just fucking stop. i was sexually assaulted and grabbed and had to shove the guy off me the other month walking to meet some friends wearing pants and a fucking long sleeve shirt and a SCARF so don't fucking sit here and say it depends on how you dress or what you wear or blalalala. fuck you tbh. how DARE you say someone should EXPECT it because of HOW THEY DRESS
And if a guy gets too grabby,deck his ass. It's that's simple.
