Jezebel reports that a bunch of (chaperoned) eighth graders went on a lunch break to Hooters during a field trip. No parents complained, but “the school’s superintendent says he wishes the ‘coed’ chaperones had selected another restaurant”.

Can You Trust Him?
Hooters is not ok. It is a restaurant that objectifies women. Hooters is about degrading women to simple objects with no thoughts, emotions or feelings. Simply put, the waitress may as well be a set of boobs that just happens to have a body to move them along. The fact that any women views this as ok concerns me. The fact that a father would take a daughter to a baseless restaurant such as hooters really tells a lot about how they view women. Sick.
If there is hooters for guys. Why another type of place for girls? Like Peckers or Chippendale in our local area? I live in San Bruno CA. And yes we have hooters too. But i truly wish there is one for girls. Peckers like the one in North Carolina and Chippendale’s in Las Vegas. I bet if someone who is ambitious of opening a restaurant a place like that for the ladies.. HUGE business. Us ladies spend more money than guys. Don’t you think?
YES!!!!!!! We need a restaurant for women. I am tired of my husband going to Hooter and Twin Peaks and then coming home bragging and says it’s too bad they don’t have a place for women to go. But all the time he’s glad there is no where for us to go and he can go look at half naked women every day and not have to worry about me doing the same. So unfair…..at least let us have the opprotunity.
I am actually going to apply to Hooters…and I dont have big boobs! Its not all about the boobs or how pretty you are. Its about being able to share your outgoing personality with other people and having fun. Being kind to others and just having a simple conversation with them can make their day. I am in college and I just want a job that I can have fun with, get some money, and be myself while doing it. Hopefully I get the job!
If you were a parent taking your kid(s) out 4 dinner, would you leave only bcuz of the size of your waitress’s chest?
I went to Hooters at like age 5 or 6 with a lot of my family and it was fine….
To be honest the majority of the women who are against other women working at hooters are the women that believe that you don’t need to use your looks to your advantage, why, because these women have low self esteem and are not confident. The women that work at hooters know they look good and have the confident to get past the criticism and the trash that people think about them , and what the perverts say. These women should actually be looked upon better because they don’t degrade women they just use the fact that they are women to their advantage. In fact most of the women at hooters are trying to make a future and they use their job to pay for their student loans, rent, and degree programs. Stop looking down on hardworking women and focus on your self.
