May it be explained to me why, exactly, a topless maid service is wrong

Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 12:27 AM by HEyHEY

I there's a big issue in my region about one. The "chycks" down at the women's centre are all P.O. about it.
And I can see their point, from my view, yeah, it does exploit women, and is rather tasteless. But, from the view a woman can do whatever she wants with her body. And when a bunch of femenists try to basically tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body through a complaint to local government...isn't that defeating the whole argument for feminism?

1. Many reasons, but the most relevant really is

that they are usually shitty maids. They are there to be looked at, not to use the white vinegar on the shower doors.

4. There was an article in (I think) Vancouver Mag last year about a service

Written by one of the "maids". She was making $75 cash an hour to basically wander around apartments in stockings and heels making a half-assed (pardon the expression) effort to sweep the counters and shelves with a feather-duster. Dodn't do bathrooms. Didn't do kitchens. Didn't do windows. Didn't do laundry. Didn't do much.

Plus it was "no contact", but she admitted that she often had sex with customers for more money (on the side, without management knowing) when she felt like it.

7. Was it Rachel Marsden?

I could see her playing topless maid for Bill O'Lielly.

9. She's a conservative radio commentator and a Canadian

Appears with O'Lielly a lot, friends with Mann Coulter. Also apparently got fired as an intern for a member of Parliment for lying about her real name and got caught in a bit of a sex scandal with an older man who said she was harrassing him. This after she accused the swim coach at her college of sexually harassing her.

6. Either you believe in the "consenting adults" thing or you don't.

Nope. Nothing wrong here.

10. My terrible slob roommate and I (also terrible slob) used to joke...

that the best part about nude maids would be the fact that the apartment would actually get cleaned a bit.

It was one of those Stadtler and Waldorf type jokes.
