Critical Thinking: Why Did Some 'Feminists' Want To Ban 'Grid Girls' and 'Walk-On Girls'?

Recently, a darts organisation decided to no longer have 'walk-on girls', and, shortly after this, the F1 decided to stop using 'grid girls'. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is happy with what has taken place.

One Assumption

It would be easy to assume that women are happy with what has happened and men are not, but it is not this black and white. There are women who are happy with this and women who aren't, and there are men who are happy with this and men who aren't.

Some of the women who are happy with what has taken place are feminists, yet not all feminists are happy with this outcome. This might come as a surprise to some people; especially as it is often believed that a feminist is someone who represents all women.

A Statement

Along with how certain people have responded to this news, the F1 has come out and said that "we feel this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms". It can then seem as though the F1 is doing the right thing and that this custom has run its course.

This will be something that some feminists will agree with, and they will probably be looking into what other customs need to go, too. Therefore, this is not the end; this is just the beginning of their crusade to make the world a better place.

One Part

At the same time, it might not be accurate to say that these women want to make the world a better place, as they usually only focus on what is taking place in the west. What is going on in the Middle East, for instance, is often overlooked.
