Hooters, therefore, is not concerned with job opportunities for all women - just some women. And if they are not waiting tables, the waitresses can entertain the customers by working the hoola hoop. It s OK, and expected, for the male customers to ogle the waitresses. Hooters Girls have to sign a personnel policy in which they acknowledge that the work environment is one in which joking and innuendo based on female sex appeal is commonplace. The ultimate effect is that the atmosphere at Hooters mainstreams sexual harassment.
Hooters encourages the objectification of women.
Everyone knows that hooters is a popular slang word for women s breasts and the owl logo has eyes which represent female breasts and nipples. The uniforms showcase the Hooter Girls breasts and legs. In fact, the backs of the uniforms used to read More than a Mouthful. And this is done in the guise of clean, wholesome fun that is suitable for the whole family. When men think of women as objects, not as persons, it gives them license to put women down, pay them less wages, and verbally abuse them.
